Key policy developments in education, training and employment – Tunisia 2023

After a short stint under the supervision of the Ministry of Youth and Sport, vocational education and training (VET) has been placed under the Ministry of Employment. The Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training is holding consultations to update the 2008 law on vocational education and training, as well as other related laws and regulations. The intention is to inject new dynamism into the system, improve quality and equip young people with the skills needed to meet the current and future needs of the labour market. To this end, tripartite social dialogue, already formalised in the area of vocational training, should be further strengthened and skills needs identified and analysed on a regular basis.
