The PhD Situation in Tunissia

Abstract

Mohamed Salim Amri Sakhri

Among the fields that make of the Tunisian country proud, is the education sector and particularly that of the higher education. Tunisia has a considerable number of graduates annually, but its employment strategy for these graduates remains very limited, especially for PhD's. Tunisia also has a large number of PhD's in various fields of activity with potential. In this report, we provide an overview of the current post-doctoral situation of Tunisian PhD's. We will start by describing our current system of including PhD's in the research and teaching ecosystem. Then, we will analysis the data of the unemployed PhD's collected to show the debauchery of the adopted system. Finally, we will give rec- ommendations that could reduce the unemployment rate of this category of graduates.
