Khaldounia

Tunis, Tunisia

Madrasa Al Khaldounia or simply Khaldounia is the first modern school founded in Tunisia on December 22, 1896. The madrasa is a good example of democracy, as all its members and presidents were elected. It was a free, public and laic institution. For years, it published regularly a review to facilitate Franco-Tunisian exchanges. Nowadays, it is a bilingual library attached to the National Library of Tunisia.
