Tunisia Basic Education - Arabic Language

The Tunisian education system follows a structure similar to the French model, with Arabic as the primary language of instruction. Basic education (Enseignement de base) spans nine years, comprising six years of primary school and three years of preparatory education (lower secondary, which includes the 9th year).

While the specific details of the 9th-year Arabic language curriculum are not readily available, the curriculum generally emphasizes Arabic language and literature, Islamic thought, and the history and geography of the Tunisian and North African region. Subjects taught in the preparatory phase include mathematics, Arabic language, Islamic education, history, French, natural sciences, and art. French is introduced as a foreign language in the third year, and English in the eighth year.

Although details about the 9th-year curriculum remain elusive, various resources for learning Arabic are available in Tunisia, including language centers, online platforms, and textbooks for Tunisian Arabic.
