Ed'Bayanat

This summer, I launched with a group of Tunisian friends an organization named Al-Montada, which aims to incite, develop and structure the discussion about higher education in Tunisia. As a Tunisian who goes to college in the US, Columbia University, I could notice the wide gap that separates our Tunisian students from the world educational standards.

As many other Tunisians, the 2011 revolution motivated me to take part in changing the reality of my country. In order to be able to influence the educational reforms in Tunisia, Al-Montada has opted for 2-year long diagnosis period, where the organization will focus on gathering data, resources, studies and formulating interpretations of the current educational situation in Tunisia and the potential ways of changing it.

In this vein, Ed'Bayanat comes to solve the huge obstacle of the lack of an up-to-date easily accessible data about the Tunisian educational system. It is also a way to surpass the bureaucracy of the governmental institutions, which limit the access to a needed well-formatted basic information. Ed'Bayanat is therefore a collaborative, open source way to recreate this missing data, where everyone can update information about Tunisian educational institutions.

Although, Ed'Bayanat is very centered around the Tunisian case, I believe that once tested and improved, it can expand to other developing countries.
