Tunisia's Minister of Education, Noureddine Nouri, chaired a national workshop on September 25, 2026, to develop a program to address emerging phenomena and risky behaviors in schools. The program aims to create a unified plan with clear timelines, monitoring mechanisms, and evaluation tools. This initiative follows the first session dedicated to diagnosing these issues. The program will be implemented starting October 1, 2026.
The program focuses on intensifying cultural, sports, and awareness activities within educational institutions. It also aims to support listening mechanisms, early detection, and enhance partnerships with families and the community. According to the Ministry, this initiative is a collaborative effort with various ministries, including Culture, Family, Health, Social Affairs, Environment, Interior, Higher Education, and Employment.
The national workshop brought together stakeholders to agree on the program's outcomes. The initiative seeks to address the growing concerns about behaviors and phenomena in schools. By engaging multiple ministries, the program aims to provide a comprehensive approach to mitigating these issues.
