Insights into the CRPD Implementation in Tunisia: Qualification Opportunities for an Inclusive Adult Education

This paper aims to point out weaknesses and strengths in the policy adopted in the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD, 2006) in Tunisia. Although many coun-tries signed the CRPD, as is also the case with Tunisia, and are committed to ensuring that persons with disabilities have equal access with others to adult education and vocational training, according to UN monitoring reports, there is still a gap between those aims and the local contexts in one hand, and between countries’ own implementation of CRPD, on the other. Through this study, we, first, aim to give an insight into the different modes of implementation at the policy level and to suggest possible reasons for this gap. Secondly, we will elaborate on the status quo of struc-tures in Tunisia that provide opportunities for (further) qualification for working in the context of inclusive adult education.
