Tunisia Primary School Curriculum - Islamic Studies

The Tunisian primary school curriculum includes Islamic Studies as a subject. While the specific details of the fourth-year curriculum remain elusive, the general approach to Islamic education in Tunisian primary and middle schools emphasizes individual responsibility to God. Islamic rituals are presented as a personal affair, without enforced observance by society or the state.
