    Contents:
    Notwithstanding the statements of regressive movements at home and abroad, Tunisia intends to continue to promote women's rights, which are thus at the heart of sustainable development and reflect renewed political commitment at the highest levels of the State. This report highlights, for instance, women's breakthrough in education, in terms of both access to the education system and performance. The gaps between girls and boys have totally disappeared, and indeed girls are overtaking boys with regard to success and promotion rates in primary education and in many subjects in secondary and higher education, and also with regard to school dropout rates. Thus, in the academic year 2006/07, girls accounted for 55 per cent of secondary education pupils and 59 per cent of higher education students. [Para 53]
