Tunisian Baccalaureate - Technology

The Tunisian Baccalaureate ( Baccalauréat en Tunisie) is a national diploma required for entry into higher education in Tunisia. It serves as a prerequisite but does not guarantee admission, as some higher education institutions have their own selection criteria. The exam is primarily taken by students completing their secondary education.

The Tunisian Baccalaureate was established in 1891 during the French protectorate, modeled after the French Baccalaureate. The exam has two sessions: the main session in early June and a second session in late June. Results are typically released in the last week of June for the main session and early July for the second session.

Initially, the Tunisian Baccalaureate mirrored the French system. However, the first post-independence Baccalaureate, held on May 31, 1957, marked a significant shift towards a system tailored to Tunisia's educational needs.

Until the mid-1970s, the Baccalaureate was a two-part exam taken at the end of the fifth and sixth years of secondary school, with written and oral components for all subjects. Since 1976, it has been a unified, bilingual (French-Arabic) exam taken during the fourth year of secondary education, primarily consisting of written exams.

The Tunisian Baccalaureate offers seven specializations:

• Mathematics
• Experimental Sciences
• Economics and Management
• Technical Sciences
• Literature
• Sports
• Computer Science

The overall success rate for the main session of the Baccalaureate in 2024 reached 42.20%, a 5.81% increase compared to the previous year. Given its dual role as a high school exit exam and a university entrance exam, the pass rates are generally lower than other national exams. On average, approximately 60% of students fail the Baccalaureate each year.

While the "Technical Sciences" specialization is listed as one of the seven options, detailed information about its specific curriculum and subjects remains elusive based on the available search results. A list of potential subjects within the "Technique" track was found, but it's unclear if these are specific to the "Technical Sciences" specialization or general subjects for all technical tracks: Electrical, Mathematics, Arabic, French, English, Philosophy, Computer Science, Chemistry, Physics, German, Italian, Spanish, and Mechanics.
