The Arab Tunisian Bank (ATB) has launched a significant expansion of its "L'Ecole Numerique" program, aimed at modernizing education in Tunisia. On October 24, 2026, ATB inaugurated its 20th computer lab at Abou Kacem Chebbi high school in Medenine. The event was attended by high-ranking officials from ATB and regional authorities, including Ali Messaadi, regional education delegate. This milestone marks a major step in ATB's efforts to enhance access to technology and improve education in Tunisia.
Prior to the Medenine inauguration, ATB had already launched its 18th and 19th computer labs in the Sfax governorate on October 21, 2026. The new labs were established at Mohamed Jammoussi and Chihia colleges, in collaboration with local education authorities. Each lab is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including modern computers, interactive touchscreens, scanners, printers, and high-speed internet access. These facilities aim to provide students with the tools needed to succeed in the digital age.
To ensure the long-term impact of these investments, ATB has provided comprehensive training sessions for teachers at the Medenine high school and Sfax colleges. The training enables educators to effectively integrate the new technologies into their daily teaching practices. This approach underscores ATB's commitment to not only providing infrastructure but also empowering teachers to maximize the benefits of the new labs.
The "L'Ecole Numerique" program is part of ATB's broader social responsibility initiative, which aims to bridge the digital divide and promote equal opportunities for students across Tunisia. The program is built on a partnership framework established between ATB and the Ministry of Education in June 2017. By investing in education and technology, ATB seeks to support the development of Tunisia's future generations.
The expansion of the "L'Ecole Numerique" program reflects ATB's strategic vision and commitment to fostering digital inclusion. According to Noura Jebali, ATB's Marketing and Communications Director, the program's success is a testament to the bank's dedication to supporting education and youth development. The program's growth is expected to continue, with plans to establish additional labs in other regions of Tunisia.
ATB's efforts to promote digital literacy and education are aligned with its mission to contribute to Tunisia's economic, social, and educational development. The bank's initiatives, including the "L'Ecole Numerique" program, demonstrate its commitment to corporate social responsibility and its role as a leading financial institution in Tunisia.
With 20 labs established to date, ATB is poised to continue its expansion plans, solidifying its position as a key partner in Tunisia's education sector. The bank's focus on technology and education underscores its vision for a more inclusive and digitally empowered future for Tunisia's youth.
