Representatives of the NATO Defence and Security Cooperation Directorate met with the leadership and personnel of Tunisia's Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence, from 5 to 8 November 2024. They took stock of the reform efforts undertaken by the country's military education institutions, with support from NATO, through NATO's Defence Education Enhancement Programme (DEEP).
Commandants and Education Directors of the five main military defence education institutions, namely War and Staff Colleges, the Military Academy, the Naval Academy and the Aviation School, briefed their NATO counterparts on the progress made to date, including the launch of an ePortal project introducing ILIAS as Learning Management System (LMS) for online learning in all Tunisian professional military education institutions.
DEEP eAcademy is preparing system administrators, instructors and content creators of the Tunisian military professional education institutions for the future integration of the ePortal into the Armed Forces' educational programmes. With continued NATO experts' support in faculty and curriculum development Tunisia continues to modernise and professionalise its entire military educational system.
Through its Individually Tailored Partnership Programme (ITTP), Tunisia is also enhancing its role as regional capacity-building hub and contributes to regional stability by including about 20 percent cadets from central African countries in their programmes and by deploying Tunisian experts on defence education faculty development to Mauritania.
