Extending from the luxuriant Mediterranean seacoast to the arid Sahara, Tunisia is a North African Muslim nation that feels strong ties to the Middle East. At one time, Tunisia hosted the headquarters of both the Arab League and the Palestine Liberation Organization. In addition, Tunisia’s official language is Arabic, even though its population is homogenously Berber, a North African ethnic community whose native language, in Tunisia at least, has become mostly obsolete. (Bilingual Tunisians most commonly speak Arabic and French.) Tourists flock to Tunisia’s sparkling coastal beaches, but seldom stray from Mediterranean resorts to explore the country’s extensive, well-preserved Roman ruins that lie inland. Both inside and outside tourist districts, family-oriented Tunisians welcome visitors who respect their Muslim traditions, even at single-sex bathhouses where Tunisians typically gather to socialize.
Education Details :
Schools are generally public, managed by the Ministry of Education and Training. The private sector accounts for less than 1% of primary education and less than 5% of secondary.
The system is structured in a nine-year cycle (six primary and three intermediate years) followed by four years of secondary education leading to a national exam taken at the end of 13th grade and called le baccalauréat or le bac. The first year of secondary education includes “common core” studies for all 10th grade students. At the end of 10th grade and depending on students’ performances and grades in various subjects, they can move into one of five fields of specialization that begin in the 11th grade: arts/humanities, math, experimental science, technology and economics/management.
