Within the framework of the Digital International Solidarity Initiative launched by the Arab Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) during the United Nations Education Transformation Summit in New York in 2022, Ms. Asmaa Al Jabri, Minister of Family, Women, Children and the Elderly, supervised on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at the Integrated Center for Youth and Childhood in Ain Draham, the procession of handing over the first batch of digital plates for the benefit of 147 children - without support - from care institutions. This activity was carried out in implementation of the agreement concluded between ALECSO and the Ministry of Family, Women, Children and the Elderly, and in cooperation with the Intel Foundation, the JP-Inspiring Knowledge Foundation, the Millennium Foundation for Sustainable Education (Millennium@EDU Sustainable Education) and the Tunisian Ministry of Education, according to which the Republic of Tunisia was granted 2,000 digital tablets. Participating in this procession were Mr. Tayeb Dridi, Governor of Jendouba, and Professor Dr. Mohamed El-Jemni, Director of the Information and Communication Technologies Department of the Arab League Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, who delivered the speech on behalf of His Excellency Prof. Dr. Mohamed Ould Amar, Director General of ALECSO. In his speech, the ALECSO representative stressed that this initiative embodies the organization’s commitment to the principle of digital solidarity, and its endeavor to enable children and youth to access technology tools and digital knowledge, allowing them to develop twenty-first century skills and prepare for future professions. He pointed out that this step expresses a successful model of integration between joint Arab action and international cooperation in order to achieve equitable and comprehensive digital education. For her part, the Minister appreciated this noble initiative, which reflects the depth of the cooperation relations between Tunisia and ALECSO, noting that the digital paintings that were delivered will contribute to supporting the Ministry’s efforts to train educators, improve educational services within childhood institutions, and facilitate children’s access to knowledge within a safe and creative digital environment. This initiative falls within a series of projects launched by ALECSO to support digital transformation in education and enable vulnerable groups to access smart and technological learning tools in a number of Arab countries, in order to enhance the principle of digital justice and equal opportunities.
