Tunisian Education Minister, Noureddine Nouri, announced on Saturday, September 26, 2026, in Mahdia, that a remote listening platform will be launched soon to address emerging phenomena and risky behaviors in schools. The platform is part of the executive program to combat risky behaviors and will be implemented in collaboration with the Ministries of Education, Health, and Social Affairs. The minister made the announcement during a visit to several educational institutions in Mahdia.
The remote listening platform aims to provide a safe and confidential space for students to report incidents and seek help. The minister explained that the platform will be launched in October 2026 and is a result of collaboration between nearly ten ministries. The platform will be operated by animators from youth centers, social workers, and health professionals who will provide educational and awareness-raising sessions in schools.
As part of the executive program, the Ministry of Education plans to allocate ten minutes within social education and humanities classes to raise awareness among students about the risks they may face, including cyber risks, and introduce prevention methods. The program also includes the involvement of social workers and health professionals in providing support to students.
During his visit, Minister Nouri inaugurated several newly built educational institutions, including the Riyad Bumardas preparatory school, which cost 7.323 million dinars to build, and the Bumardas primary school, which cost 1.120 million dinars. He also inspected several construction sites, emphasizing the need to complete them within the specified deadlines.
The minister's visit included stops at educational institutions in various delegations, including Sidi Ali Ben Aoun, Jammal, Sidi Alwan, Al-Shabah, Qasr Al-Saf, and Mahdia. The Mahdia Regional Education Delegation has a portfolio of 433 projects, including 201 completed projects, 9 projects under evaluation, and 40 projects under construction, with a total cost of approximately 25 million dinars.
In addition to the remote listening platform, the Ministry of Education plans to involve other stakeholders, including the Ministry of Family, Women, Childhood, and Older Adults, in the program to provide support to students. The program aims to create a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.
