2.7 Religions
The constitution declares Islam as the official state religion and
requires the President to be Muslim. Aside from the President,
Tunisians enjoy a significant degree of religious freedom, a right
enshrined and protected in its constitution, which guarantees the
freedom to practice ones religion.
The country has a secular culture that encourages acceptance of
other religions and religious freedom.
The majority of Tunisias population (around 98%) are Muslims
while about 1% follow Christianity and the remaining 1% adhere
to Judaism or other religions.[93] The bulk of Tunisians belong
to the Maliki School of Sunni Islam and their mosques are easily
recognizable by square minarets. However, the Turks brought with
them the teaching of the Hanafi School during the Ottoman rule
which still survives among the Turkish descended families today,
their mosques traditionally have octagonal minarets.
Tunisia has a sizable Christian community of around 25,000
adherents, mainly Catholics (22,000) and to a lesser degree
Protestants. Berber Christians continued to live in Tunisia up until
the early 15th century. Judaism is the countrys third largest religion
with 1,500 members. One-third of the Jewish population lives in
and around the capital. The remainder lives on the island of Djerba,
with 39 synagogues, and where the Jewish community dates back
2,500 years.
2.8 Language
Arabic is the official language, and Tunisian Arabic, known as Derja,
is the local, vernacular variety of Arabic and is used by the public.
There is also a small minority of speakers of Shelha, a Berber
language.
Due to the former French occupation, French also plays a major role
in the country, despite having no official status. It is widely used
in education (e.g., as the language of instruction in the sciences
in secondary school), the press, and in business. Most Tunisians
are able to speak it. Due to Tunisias proximity to Italy and the large
number of Italian Tunisians, Italian is understood and spoken by a
small part of the Tunisian population.
2.9 Education
Education is given a high priority and accounts for 6% of GNP.
A basic education for children between the ages of six and 16
has been compulsory since 1991. Tunisia ranked 17th in the
category of quality of the [higher] educational system and 21st
in the category of quality of primary education in The Global
Competitiveness Report 2008-9, released by The World Economic
Forum.
While children generally acquire Tunisian Arabic at home, when
they enter school at age six, they are taught to read and write in
Standard Arabic. From the age of eight, they are taught French
while English is introduced at the age of 12.
Colleges and universities in Tunisia include:
cole Polytechnique de Tunisie
International University of Tunis
Universit Libre de Tunis
Universit de lAviation et Technologie de Tunisie
Institut National dAgronomie de Tunis
Universit des Sciences de Tunis
3 Economy
Tunisia has a diverse, market-oriented economy, with important
agricultural, mining, tourism, and manufacturing sectors but
faces an array of challenges. Following an ill-fated experiment
with socialist economic policies in the 1960s, Tunisia successfully
focused on bolstering exports, foreign investment, and tourism.
Key exports now include textiles and apparel, food products,
petroleum products, chemicals, and phosphates, with about 80%
going to the European Union. Tunisia achieved four decades of
4-5% annual GDP growth.
As the presidency wore on, cronyism and corruption under former
President Zine el Abidine Ben Ali (1987-2011) stymied economic
performance and unemployment rose among the universitys
graduates. In January 2011 Ben Ali was overthrown, sending
Tunisias economy into a tailspin.
The countrys newly elected government faces immediate
challenges stabilising the economy. It must reassure businesses
and investors, bring budget and current account deficits under
control, shore up the countrys financial system, bring down high
unemployment, and reduce economic disparities.

5 Transport and
Communications
5.1 Railways
Tunisia inherited much of its rail transport system from the French
and the Tunisian Government has developed infrastructure further.
The railways are operated by the Socit Nationale de Chemins de
Fer Tunisiens (SNCFT), the Tunisian national railway.
A modernisation programme is currently underway. It has a total of
2,152 km consisting of 468 km of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 12 in) standard
gauge rail ways and 1,674 kilometres of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 38 in)
metre gauge. Tunis has a light rail system. In the south of Tunisia,
there is a narrow gauge railway called the Sfax-Gafsa Railway
which delivers phosphates and iron ore to the harbour at Sfax.
Tunisia has rail links with the neighbouring country of Algeria via the
Ghardimaou-Souk Ahras line, and another connection to Tbessa,
however, the latter link is currently not used.
5.2 Roadways
Total: 2,165 km
Standard gauge: 471 km 1.435-m gauge
Narrow gauge: 1,694 km 1.000-m gauge (65 km electrified)
5.3 Ports and harbours
Tunis is the most significant port in Tunisia with other significant
ports on the Mediterranean Sea including Bizerte, Gabs, La
Goulette, Sfax, Sousse and Zarzis.
5.4 Communications
Tunisia has developed a diverse, market-oriented economy which
escaped the global economic crisis virtually unscathed, but the
events of the Arab Spring drove the country into a mild recession
in 2011. However, GDP growth is expected to climb steadily over
the coming years to reach 6% in 2015.
As a result of heavy investments in the telecom sector
since the mid-1990s, Tunisia has one of the most developed
telecommunications infrastructures in Northern Africa and sports
some of the continents highest market penetration rates.
Offering a full range of services, Tunisie Telecom is the countrys
fixed-line incumbent. The company was partly privatised in 2006
when a 35% stake was sold to Dubai-based Tecom and DIG. It also
operates a mobile network under the name Tunicell.
The mobile sector has experienced exceptional growth since the
introduction of a second GSM network in 2002, operated under
the name Tunisiana first by Egypts Orascom and now by Kuwaits
Wataniya in which Qatar Telecom (Q-Tel) holds a majority stake.
