Article 1 of the Convention. Formulation and implementation of education and training policies. The Government indicates in its report that it has no recent information on the results of vocational training and guidance programmes. It also emphasizes that accelerated training is provided in the absence of a consolidated policy encompassing all the stakeholders. The Committee urges the Government to provide updated information on the vocational training and guidance policies implemented, with an indication of the skills and qualifications acquired by beneficiaries, disaggregated by sex and age, in the context of the activities of the Vocational Training Centre. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure effective consultation between the programmes established by the Vocational Training Centre and the National Employment Agency.

Article 3(1). Information for vocational guidance. The Government indicates that the country does not yet have an effective vocational guidance system. Most of the fields in which guidance is provided relate to specializations available either at universities, or at an institute which teaches a particular specialization, without making a direct link between such specialization and the labour market. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the measures adopted or envisaged to ensure that comprehensive information and the broadest possible guidance are available to all persons concerned.

Lifelong learning. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken to constantly establish, maintain and improve a coordinated system of lifelong education and training, in accordance with Article 4 of the Convention and the guidance provided in the Human Resources Development Recommendation, 2004 (No. 195).

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2016.]
