He therefore considered digital transformation to be a strategic priority project, given its role in developing teaching and learning curricula to bring them into line with modern education systems. Boughdiri reiterated Tunisia's commitment to fostering partnerships with the world's leading IT companies, such as Microsoft, "which has helped position Tunisia as a prime destination in digitisa tion and artificial intelligence sectors." Taking the floor, Director of Microsoft Tunis office Mohamed Bridaa underlined the importance of cooperation between the Tunisian government and Microsoft to help public administrations and the education, higher education and vocational training sectors make the most of employment and digitisation systems.
