When I lived and taught in a Muslim country school schedules were not
changed due to Ramadan; however, work schedules were changed a little--most
places started later. My guess would also be that the women are less tired
from fasting, and more tired from cooking and entertaining late. Speaking of
attendance issues, I was wondering if there was any research out there that
showed why students continued to come to programs or not? My supervisor
asked me about this. I am aware of a little bit of research in this area in
Intensive Programs at the college level, but I haven't seen any such
information regarding adult ed programs.
