Tunisia's 9th Year Basic Education - History

The Tunisian education system places a strong emphasis on education, allocating a significant portion of the national budget to this sector. Basic education is compulsory for nine years, encompassing six years of primary school and three years of preparatory education (equivalent to middle school or junior high). The 9th year represents the final year of basic education.

While the specific details of the 9th-year history curriculum remain elusive, the available information suggests a focus on contemporary history, including changes, problems, and crises of the era, with a focus on the world, the Maghreb, and Tunisia. One source mentions the teaching of changes, problems and crises of the contemporary era: The world, the Maghreb and Tunisia.

The curriculum also includes other subjects such as mathematics, Arabic language, Islamic education, French, natural sciences, art, physical education, geography, English, civics, and technical education. There is ongoing debate about the balance between national history and global perspectives within the curriculum.
