Tunisia Basic Education System Overview

The Tunisian basic education system, known as "Enseignement de base," is compulsory and free for all children aged 6 to 15, spanning nine years. It is divided into two stages: six years of primary school and three years of preparatory education (7th, 8th, and 9th years). Students undertake a national exam at the end of the 9th year.

9th Year Basic Education

The 9th year is the final year of basic education and serves as a bridge to secondary education. While there's a common core curriculum, students begin to specialize, particularly those in the technical track.

Technical Education

Technical education is an important part of the Tunisian education system, offering students a pathway towards vocational training and specialized careers. Many technical subjects are taught in French. After completing the 9th year, students in the technical track can opt for two-year vocational programs. There are also higher technical programs leading to a "Brevet de Technicien Superieur" (BTS).
