Change the date for University exam 5th June 2019 for Eid-al-Fitr celebrations
Most universities within the UK have timetabled their exam on 5th June 2019 which is when Eid al Fitr is. The date of the exam should be moved back or forward to allow Muslims to celebrate the festival properly.
Eid-al-Fitr is one of the festivals Muslims celebrate within a year. This Eid comes after the month of Ramadan which Muslims spend by fasting from sunrise to sunset for a month.
