Tunisia clamps down on fake education credentials with blockchain

Tunisia has officially adopted a blockchain-based system for verifying educational credentials, joining other Arab nations in combating diploma fraud. The Tunisian government, following a successful pilot with three local universities, has integrated the Unified Arab System for Diploma Authenticity Verification. Initiated by the Tunis-based Arab League Educational, Cultural, and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) and approved in 2021, this system ensures each diploma is a unique, immutable record on a decentralized ledger, accessible to employers, government, and educational bodies.
