Tunisian Education Minister, Noureddine Nouri, has announced a series of new initiatives aimed at addressing emerging challenges and behaviors in schools. Speaking in Mahdia, the minister revealed that a new online platform will be launched to enable anonymous reporting of concerns. This platform is part of a broader program to tackle new phenomena and high-risk behaviors. The initiative is a collaborative effort between the Ministries of Education, Health, and Social Affairs.
The minister outlined that the program's implementation will begin in October, involving around ten ministries. The plan includes educational and awareness-raising sessions in schools, led by youth workers, women's and children's ministry officials, and healthcare professionals. These sessions aim to educate students about potential risks, including cyber threats, and methods of prevention. The program also allocates time within social education and humanities classes for awareness-raising activities.
During his visit to Mahdia, Minister Nouri inaugurated several new educational institutions, including the Bumerdas Preparatory School, which cost approximately 7.323 million dinars to build, and the Bumerdas Primary School, costing 1.120 million dinars. He also inspected ongoing construction projects, emphasizing the need for timely completion. The minister expressed his willingness to program new projects based on regional needs and requirements.
The minister's visit covered various educational institutions across Mahdia, including those in the delegations of Sousse, Jem, Sidi Alwan, Chabba, Qasr Essaf, and Mahdia. The regional education delegation in Mahdia oversees a portfolio of 433 projects, with 201 completed, 9 under evaluation, and 40 under construction, totaling around 25 million dinars. Additionally, 183 projects are in the study phase.
The new initiatives aim to enhance the educational environment and address emerging challenges in Tunisian schools. By collaborating with multiple ministries and involving various stakeholders, the program seeks to provide comprehensive support to students. The minister's visit highlighted the government's commitment to improving education infrastructure and services in the region.
The online platform for anonymous reporting will enable students, parents, and teachers to raise concerns about potential risks and behaviors. This initiative is expected to improve the overall safety and well-being of students in Tunisian schools. The program's focus on awareness-raising and education will help students develop essential life skills and make informed decisions.
The Tunisian government's efforts to address emerging challenges in schools demonstrate its commitment to providing a safe and supportive learning environment. The minister's visit to Mahdia and the announcement of new initiatives underscore the importance of collaboration and community involvement in shaping the country's education sector.
