Al-Quran lessons
From March 2021In March 2021 MSRI began teaching Al-Quran classes for students in the MSRI school. Owing to movement-control restrictions and teacher availability, classes were initially held online and limited to 30 students.
Registrations reopened in May 2021 and 128 students registered, ranging from kindergarten to grade nine. MSRI hired an additional teacher to accommodate demand. By the end of 2021, 89 students were attending regularly, and the classes continue.
