It would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report whether measures have also been taken or are envisaged to promote the granting of paid educational leave for the purpose of general, social and civic education, and trade union education, as set out in Article 2(b) and (c) of the Convention. Please also provide any statistics which may be available concerning the number of workers granted paid educational leave (Part V of the report form).
