Tunisia's Ministry of Education has announced that its 'Jisur' platform, launched on October 19, 2026, has seen an impressive 50,000 student sign-ups. The platform provides online educational support to students in their sixth year of primary school, ninth year of basic education, and those preparing for their baccalaureate exams. This initiative aims to support students in reviewing lessons and reinforcing their knowledge.
The 'Jisur' platform offers live and recorded educational sessions, taught by specialized teachers under pedagogical supervision. According to Kamal Qalai, head of the Ministry's General Directorate of Programs and Continuous Training, the platform's goal is to provide students with additional educational support outside of the traditional classroom setting. This initiative is part of the Ministry's efforts to improve educational outcomes.
Qalai highlighted that the 50,000 student sign-ups are a promising start, and the Ministry aims to continue developing the platform to reach more students. The 'Jisur' platform is just one of several initiatives launched by the Ministry to support students, including the 'All Our Children 2.0' project, which provides educational and social support to students struggling with learning difficulties.
The 'Jisur' platform is also part of a broader effort to integrate technology into Tunisia's education system. Other recent initiatives include a workshop on digital safety, organized by the National Center for Children's Informatics, which took place on November 4, 2026. These efforts demonstrate the Ministry's commitment to leveraging technology to improve educational outcomes.
In addition to the 'Jisur' platform, the Ministry of Education has also organized school trips for students during the first trimester break. These trips aim to provide students with a fun and educational experience outside of the classroom. The Ministry has also announced that university students will benefit from initiatives aimed at connecting academic training with the job market.
The 'Jisur' platform has been well-received by students and parents, who see it as a valuable resource for supporting their educational journey. As the platform continues to develop, it is expected to have a positive impact on educational outcomes in Tunisia. The Ministry's efforts to integrate technology into education are seen as a key step towards improving the quality of education.
The success of the 'Jisur' platform is a positive development for Tunisia's education sector, which faces challenges in terms of access and quality. With 50,000 student sign-ups, the platform has demonstrated its potential to make a positive impact on educational outcomes. The Ministry's commitment to continuing to develop the platform is a promising sign for the future of education in Tunisia.
