Carthage:President Kais Saïed emphasized the urgent need to reform Tunisia's education system to serve future generations during a meeting with Minister of Education Noureddine Nouri and Secretary-General of the Higher Education Council Mohamed Ali Boughdiri.

According to Agence Tunis Afrique Presse – English, President Saïed highlighted the crucial role of the Higher Education Council as a constitutional institution in promoting education and societal development. He criticized past educational reforms for being influenced by foreign dictates and not reflecting the will of the people.

The President condemned the past slogan "drying up the sources," which he said led to the "assassination of thought." He warned against ongoing intellectual alienation, exacerbated by social networks, and called for new educational methods and open discussions devoid of political influence. He particularly criticized politicians who claim scholarly knowledge, suggesting their understanding is at a primary education level.

President Saïed advocated for drawing on successful experiences and encouraged listening to Tunisians to devise solutions that others might emulate. He also stressed the importance of supporting students in remote areas, improving school transport, and ensuring education is a guaranteed right for everyone equally.
