Support from the European Union for education, higher education, employment and vocational training in Tunisia
The European Commission has paid the third and final installment of the support program for education, vocational training, and higher education linked to the employability of young graduates (PEFESE) amounting to 19.3 million euros.
With a total budget of 65 million euros, including 61.3 million in sectoral budget support and 3.3 million euros for technical assistance activities, the PEFESE program supports reforms implemented by the Tunisian government in education and training. It plays an important role in current cooperation between the European Union and Tunisia and aims to improve the efficiency of education, vocational training, and higher education systems.
This program is a logical continuation of the support provided by the European Union to reforms in the Tunisian education sector since the 2000s, which had allowed the opening of this sector to the business world and the improvement of the match between training and employment. It includes three main areas: quality and governance, information and guidance system, employability and partnerships. The main challenges of PEFESE are improving the quality of education, synergy and complementarity between the sub-sectors of the education system, and strengthening the regional dimension. The aim of the supported reforms is to improve youth employability and support the national strategy to combat unemployment.
