On November 5, 2026, members of the local council in Jerjis, Tunisia, conducted a survey of two land plots in the city center. The survey was attended by representatives from the regional development department, the Ministry of State Assets, and the Jerjis municipality. The plots are intended for the construction of a new national engineering school and a preparatory school.
The survey was carried out during the council's regular session, which was held at the Jerjis delegation office. According to Thamer Al-Miladi, a member of the council, the survey aimed to identify suitable locations for the new infrastructure projects. The projects are expected to improve education and social services in the region.
In addition to the school projects, the council also plans to establish a complex for institutions focused on women's and children's affairs, a youth center, and a national health insurance and social affairs office. A children's club will also be set up in Chamakh. These initiatives are part of a broader effort to enhance social services and infrastructure in Jerjis.
