381. A programme for the integration of the disabled into the ordinary school institutions, known under the name of « National Strategy for the Educational Integration of Disabled Children », had been drawn up. The school year 20032004 saw the launching of this national programme whose implementation had involved the Ministries of Education and Training, of Public Health and Social Affairs, of Solidarity and of Tunisians Abroad. Initiated in 126 schools, this programme is extended today to more than double this number. 382. The concretization of the right of all citizens to education also takes shape in the National Adult Educational Programme (PNEA) launched in 2000 within the framework of the global development strategy in Tunisia. This programme is aimed principally at accelerating the rhythm of reducing illiteracy and by guaranteeing the access to education and social culture to those people who are incapable of reading and writing so that they can assume their citizenship. 383. The PNEA consists of flexible and diversified apprenticeship modules adapted to the nature of the learners, to their family, professional and social conditions while giving priority to the youth aged less than 30 years, to the female gender and to persons originating from the rural areas. 384. The PNEA, during the period 2000-2005, registered 450,000 learners, with the following distribution: - 32% among the youth aged less than 30 years; - 55% among those from the rural areas. 385. A very broad associative network of which 53 were regional and local Associations specialized in the area of adult education contributed to the putting into practice of this programme. II- The Right to participation in Cultural Life 386. Tunisia has given the right of man to culture a prominent place in the social choice defined since the 7th November 1987. The legislative, institutional and financial measures aimed at the concretization of this right comply with a double objective: to win the intelligence and democratize culture since it is a question of allowing the Tunisian to make the artistic and cultural field a space for selfdevelopment and self-realization. 387. The Ministry of Culture, the designation of which, in 2004, was changed to Ministry of Culture and the Protection of the Heritage, is currently responsible, within the framework of the general policy of the State, for implementing the national choices in the fields of culture and the protection of the Heritage. The objective is: 1) to guarantee for all the access to a broad and modern culture, allowing each one to face the current and future changes in knowledge, in technology, in the society, in all the dimensions of human culture; 2) to encourage the artists, step up the participation in cultural life of the different age brackets and social categories and to endeavour to guarantee access of all citizens to all the components of culture; 82
