Closed Eid holiday for Muslim school students in the UK, follow NYC public schools.

Closed on

Muslim students in the UK don't get a holiday on the two Eid days every year - Eid ul Fitar and Eid ul Adha. Being the only two (or the biggest two) religious celebrations for the Muslims the students should get official holidays on these two occasions. New York City is now doing it, why can't UK?
