The Regional Education Delegation 2 in Tunisia has launched a regional initiative titled "New Student Day" in preparatory schools and institutes under its jurisdiction. This initiative aims to facilitate the integration of new students within educational institutions and instill values of communication, citizenship, and teamwork. By organizing cultural, sports, and orientation activities, the initiative seeks to introduce new students to school life and promote a sense of belonging.

According to Mrs. Anas Belhaj, head of the Cultural Animation Department at the Regional Education Delegation 2, the initiative was discussed on the "Matinée Junior" program on Thursday, October 1, 2026. The discussion highlighted the importance of welcoming new students and providing them with a supportive environment. This initiative is part of the delegation's efforts to enhance student experiences and create a positive school culture.

The "New Student Day" initiative is one of several events organized by educational institutions in Tunisia to address emerging issues and risky behaviors in schools. Recently, the "Ambassadors of Road Safety" association called for the implementation of a law limiting speed to 30 km/h around educational institutions. This proposal aims to ensure students' safety and reduce road accidents.

On September 28, 2026, educational institutions in Tunisia intensified cultural, sports, and awareness-raising activities to tackle emerging issues and risky behaviors in schools. These activities are designed to promote a safe and supportive learning environment, enabling students to focus on their studies and personal development.

In celebration of the International Day of the Deaf, the French Institute in Tunis hosted an initiative under the slogan "Dedicating Human Rights to Deaf Persons" on September 26, 2026. This event aimed to raise awareness about the importance of inclusivity and equal opportunities for deaf individuals.

The Tunisian Association for Educational Initiatives participated in 25 hours of continuous innovation and digital education on September 24, 2026. This event showcased the association's commitment to promoting digital literacy and innovative learning approaches in Tunisia.

The "New Student Day" initiative is a significant step towards creating a welcoming and inclusive school environment in Tunisia. By engaging new students in cultural, sports, and orientation activities, educational institutions can foster a sense of belonging and promote values essential for their academic success and personal growth.
