Ruling on breaking the fast in Ramadan for the sake of academic examinations

A brother of ours from Syria sent a set of questions without mentioning his name, but he signed the end of the letter. His questions revolve around the following:
First, he says: Is it permissible for a person to break the fast in Ramadan for the sake of studying to take an exam, if he finds hardship in fasting?
Answer: It is not permissible for students to break the fast in Ramadan for the sake of an exam. Rather, they must strive and prepare for their exam at night and fast during the day. Likewise, workers are not permitted to break the fast. Rather, it is obligatory for the worker to work to the extent of his capacity during the day of fasting. Likewise, students should work on what concerns the exam to the extent of their capacity during the day, and they should devote most of their work, care, and studying to the night, because that is stronger for them. And those in authority should lighten the burden for them during the day and not put pressure on them in this regard so as not to put them in a difficult position regarding fasting. If it is possible for the exam to be held before Ramadan or after Ramadan, that is better and more appropriate, so as not to make it difficult for the students. However, the exam and work are not an excuse for breaking the fast. Rather, it is obligatory for a person to prepare himself alongside fasting, to do what he can while fasting, and to do what he can in the exam. Most of the studying and care should be at night, during the time of breaking the fast, and the time of day should be merely for taking the exam. Those in authority should take note of this so as not to make it difficult for the students. Rather, they should make the exam according to the students' capacity. If it is possible to bring it forward before Ramadan or postpone it, that is more lenient for the students and more appropriate. Yes.
