Tunisia Preparatory Education System (Grades 7-9)

The Tunisian education system is based on the French model and emphasizes bilingualism in Arabic and French. Education is compulsory between the ages of 6 and 16. Basic education lasts for nine years and is divided into two stages: six years of primary school and three years of preparatory school (lower secondary).

Preparatory education (grades 7-9) deepens the basic education acquired in primary school. While French is taught, along with other subjects like mathematics, Arabic, Islamic studies, science, and English, the specific details of the French curriculum for these grades remain elusive.
