Tunisia woman on school notebook cover sparks debate
A school notebook cover circulated in Tunisia showing a cartoon character of a woman holding handheld weapons, which sparked widespread anger and criticism regarding its content and its appropriateness for a pedagogical context aimed at children. Experts and human rights organizations considered that the design reflects a failure in educational imagination and threatens educational values, calling for a review of the criteria used for selecting illustrations and images on school supplies' covers. The National Chamber of Notebook Makers confirmed that the character is cartoon and not real, and that the design is driven by commercial reasons. Meanwhile, criticisms expanded to include poor oversight of the content of products intended for students, especially with the upcoming school reopening and the increasing challenges within the educational system.
