Update: Tunisia

The focal point of the changes is in the educational and the health sector. Actually, there were no differentiations regarding the total number of web sites, only the total number of population has been altered as reported from INS (National Institute of Statistics) data.

According to the National Institute of Statistics, a differentiation regarding population data has taken place. Making a comparison with INS 1998 data reporting, the school population is increased by 64. This is due to the increment of primary public schools by 24, primary private schools by 3, secondary public schools by 50 and due to the decrement of secondary private schools by 13.

It has been noticed that a second university web site has been operational, that of ULT (Universite Libre de Tunis, www.ult.ens.tn).

One hospital and 36 health centers are also added to the relevant category population.
