Context/Background

As early as 2016, Tunisia launched an ambitious reform in the education sector. Reform of the education system is seen as an essential component of the national strategy for economic and social development. The national debate on educational reform launched in April 2015 and which lasted for a whole year resulted in the publication of a white paper synthesizing the results of the debate and the main lines of the reform. In addition, this work served as the basis for the development of the strategic plan for the education sector for the period 2016-2020. The Sector Five Year Plan (2016-2020) is divided into 9 strategic objectives for reforming the education system: (i) Achieving the principle of equity and equal opportunities, (ii) Revision of the school map, (iii) ) Development of human resources skills, (iv) Development of learning outcomes and improvement of quality of learning, (v) Development of school life, (vi) Restructuring of preparatory and secondary education, (vii) (Viii) Development of the integration of information and communication technologies in teaching, learning, leadership and administration, (ix) Implementation of the principles of Good governance in the education system.

To support this reform, the UNICEF country office has mobilized external resources in three main areas: (i) support for reform, (ii) early childhood development and (iii) the fight against school dropouts and out of school children, accompanied by an approach to the development of life skills. To this end, UNICEF has received significant support of bilateral and multilateral donors and is expected to receive further funding in the near future.
