London school trust bans Muslim students from fasting in Ramazan
[DAWN] A primary school trust in east London banned Moslem pupils from fasting on school grounds during Ramazan, reported The Telegraph.The Barclay Primary School, which serves London's Leyton area, told parents in a June 10 letter: "We have sought guidance and are reliably informed that in Islamic Law, children are not required to fast during Ramadan," adding that previously, children at the school had fallen ill, fainted, or been "unable to fully access the school curriculum in their attempts to fast."
