According to Konya Mufti Şükrü Özbuday, the Koran course will last two months, with class held every weekday for three hours. "We admit students who have completed their fifth year at school," he said.
Özbuday said the Religious Affairs Directorate, the country’s top religious institution, has signed an agreement with the Turkish Badminton Federation to teach the sport to students who express interest. The mufti’s office will provide the necessary equipment. Interested students will watch a CD on badminton and then participate in the sport, Özbuday said.
