A proposal from 'MuRo27', a group advocating for Muslim interests in Rome, suggests closing schools during Ramadan to accommodate the Islamic holiday amid increasing public discussions on religious observances in education.
The group 'MuRo27', comprised of Muslims and led by former Democratic Party member Francesco Tieri, is advocating for the closure of schools in Rome during the month of Ramadan. Their call comes as part of a broader initiative to influence the electoral agenda ahead of the upcoming Roman elections in 2024. They reference the example of Pioltello, near Milan, where schools have closed for Ramadan due to a significant number of Muslim students, arguing that similar accommodations should be made in the capital.
