STUDYING IN TUNISIA
Extending from the luxuriant Mediterranean seacoast to the arid Sahara, Tunisia is a North African Muslim nation that feels strong ties to the Middle East. At one time, Tunisia hosted the headquarters of both the Arab League and the Palestine Liberation Organization. In addition, Tunisia’s official language is Arabic, even though its population is homogenously Berber, a North African ethnic community whose native language, in Tunisia at least, has become mostly obsolete. (Bilingual Tunisians most commonly speak Arabic and French.) Tourists flock to Tunisia’s sparkling coastal beaches, but seldom stray from Mediterranean resorts to explore the country’s extensive, well-preserved Roman ruins that lie inland. Both inside and outside tourist districts, family-oriented Tunisians welcome visitors who respect their Muslim traditions, even at single-sex bathhouses where Tunisians typically gather to socialize.
School
Schools are generally public, managed by the Ministry of Education and Training. The private sector accounts for less than 1% of primary education and less than 5% of secondary.
LIVING IN TUNISIA
Lifestyle and Family Living
Tunisian culture is an interesting and charming example of Arab Islamic culture blended with Mediterranean, European and Western influences, the result of 3,000 years as a melting pot of Mediterranean cultures combined with a genuine openness to and acceptance of others. The geo-strategic position of the country at the heart of the Mediterranean Basin and as a crossroads of the Arab world has also strongly influenced the country’s identity. In addition, Tunisia is historically the country that gave its name to the entire African continent. Although only 5% of its population is black, some of its traditions belong to the African cultural heritage.
Dress and Appearance
Tunisian youth dress casually wearing most of the time pants and T-shirts or sweatshirts or a blouse or a shirt. Girls are usually more attentive to their dress and appearance; they try to dress fashionably and wear make up. Schools usually require girls to wear a uniform; however, this is not systematic.
