Tunisia: School textbooks for 2026-2027 to be available from August 15

Tunisia's Minister of Education, Noureddine Nouri, has stressed the importance of strictly adhering to the timeline for the 2026-2027 academic year's textbooks. He mandated that all required schoolbooks must be available in bookstores starting August 15, 2026, to ensure readiness for the upcoming school year.

This directive was issued during a meeting of the National Pedagogical Center's (CNP) board, which coincided with a working visit to monitor strategic projects. The minister commended the CNP teams for their efforts while calling for enhanced good governance, transparency in resource management, and thorough oversight at every stage of textbook preparation and printing.

Nouri also highlighted the necessity of meeting deadlines to prevent any delays that could impact textbook availability before the school year commences. He urged for improved coordination among all involved departments to guarantee the successful execution of this operation.

According to the latest data from the CNP, 130 different textbook titles will be available for primary and secondary education cycles for the 2026-2027 school year. Additionally, pedagogical guides for teachers will also be distributed.
