Tunisia's Sadiki College — founded in 1875 by Prime Minister Kheireddine Pasha as the first modern secular school in the Arab world — produced a generation of nationalist leaders who would go on to dismantle French protectorate rule. Habib Bourguiba himself was among its alumni, which made the institution politically loaded enough to merit this commemorative honoring the Central Bank's twentieth anniversary alongside it.
The pairing of an independent financial institution with a pre-colonial educational symbol was deliberate statecraft under Bourguiba's government.
