Tunisia Mathematics Scores Decline: Education System Crisis Threatening Economic Growth, Study Finds
Tunisia is facing a profound crisis in mathematics education, with results declining significantly over the years, leading to a gap between years of schooling and the actual skills students acquire. In 2015, Tunisia recorded a score of 384 points in the assessment of mathematical skills, below the global average. This reflects a loss of about 4.1 years of actual education and a substantial decline in the country's economic competitiveness. This weakness in mathematical skills directly impacts the labor market, where the unemployment rate among graduates reaches 24.9%. The nation loses approximately 9.7 million dinars annually in productivity, and Tunisian families spend around 500 million dinars each year on private lessons. The inadequate level of mathematics is also reflected in the decreasing interest of students in scientific tracks, especially mathematics, which saw its selection rate drop from 18% in 2001 to about 6% by 2025. This poses a threat to future economic development and sustainability. The study emphasizes that the problem is not only in the curriculum content or teaching methods but also in the poor quality of education and the lack of investment in essential skills needed to keep pace with an economy driven by technology and innovation.
