The Education Ministry is encouraging students to learn why we commemorate religious holidays.
Minister Doctor Mahendra Reddy says they want to educate students to become global citizens that will appreciate all cultures and religions.
He says students need to understand why we commemorate Chinese New Year, Easter, Ram Naumi, Holi, Diwali and also Eid.
Reddy says they are now sending reading material about these religious holidays to all schools for students to read and understand.
