The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's report for the period ending September 1998. It notes in particular the numerous projects the Government has undertaken to extend and improve its services. These include developing and modernizing some centres; establishing an information base to help people choose a profession and training taking into consideration market demand; and creating an employment agency to aid employers in recruiting, particularly of young people. The Committee would appreciate being kept informed of the outcome of these projects.

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the Government's report does not indicate any plans to extend vocational training to adults. It would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report its future plans pertaining to extension of vocational training to adults, as specified in Article 3 of the Convention.

The Committee also notes the Government's statement that trainees are supervised during training and after graduation, and that studies are undertaken to measure the competence of graduates and the efficiency of the training programmes, as well as to evaluate the suitability of training programmes vis-à-vis the labour market. The Committee would be grateful to receive a summary of these findings, if available, as well as extracts of other reports, studies, surveys and statistics on the practical application of the Convention, when they become available, as requested under Part VI of the report form.
