The Saudi Ministry of Interior has released a detailed set of rules and deadlines to manage the flow of pilgrims and ensure public safety during the 2025 Hajj season.

According to the official statement issued on Sunday, the last day for Umrah pilgrims to enter Saudi Arabia is Sunday, April 13, 2025, and they must leave the country by Tuesday, April 29, 2025. The ministry warned that overstaying beyond this window will be considered a violation of visa regulations.

Beginning Wednesday, April 23, 2025, access to the holy city of Makkah will be tightly controlled. To enter, individuals must show one of the following:

  • A valid work permit,
  • A residency ID (Iqama) issued in Makkah, or
  • An official Hajj permit.

Foreign residents living in other cities of Saudi Arabia will not be allowed into Makkah without obtaining the appropriate permit. Anyone caught attempting to bypass this rule will be turned back at security checkpoints like Al Shumaisi, the ministry stated.

Additionally, Umrah permit issuance through the “Nusuk” platform will be suspended from April 29 to June 10, 2025.

Another critical restriction: anyone in the Kingdom on a visa other than a Hajj visa will not be allowed to enter or stay in Makkah starting April 29. This applies to all visa holders, including tourist, business, and family visit visas.

For those who need to be in Makkah or nearby holy sites for work during this period, special travel permits must be requested through official government portals.

These measures are part of the Kingdom’s broader efforts to maintain order, security, and health safety during one of the largest annual religious gatherings in the world.

Education Reforms in Pakistan: Can We Educate Pakistan?Dr Riaz CheemaIntroduction:The concept of reforms in the Pakistani context has evolved over time in response to the challenges faced by the education sector and the broader socio-economic environment. Reforms are typically viewed as necessary interventions aimed at improving the effectiveness, accessibility, and quality of various systems, particularly in education. In Pakistan, education reforms have focused on addressing systemic issues such as low literacy rates, gender disparities, inadequate infrastructure, poor governance, and limited access to quality education. However, the process of reform is complex, often subject to political and social influences, and fraught with challenges.In Pakistan, education reforms are often driven by political agendas, and their implementation tends to be episodic rather than continuous. The education sector has been subject to frequent shifts in policy, particularly with changes in political leadership. This means that reforms introduced by one government are often abandoned by the next, leading to a lack of continuity and long-term vision in the education system. As a result, many educational initiatives have been sporadic, fragmented, and insufficiently resourced. The country’s political instability, changing leadership, and lack of political will have hindered the establishment of a consistent education policy.......For More Details :https://republicpolicy.com/education-reforms-in-pakistan-can-we-educate-pakistan/#educationreform #republicpolicy #pakistaneducationsystem #trending #educationcontent #viralvideo #asifgill #republicpolicy #1million #top10 #youtube #EducationCrisis #PakistanEducation #EducationReform #SaveOurStudents #EducationSystemPakistan #FutureOfPakistan #PakEducationSector #EducationMatters #PolicyFailure #SchoolReformEducation Crisis Pakistan, Education Reform, Pakistan Schools, Villains of Education, Corruption in Education, Pakistan Education System, Future of Education, Education Sector Problems, Education Policy Pakistan, Teachers in Pakistan, Curriculum Issues Pakistan, Private vs Public Schools Pakistan, Education Inequality
