Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

1. The Committee notes the brief statement supplied by the Government in its report. It notes that vocational guidance and training are part of a statewide programme and are carried out jointly with the social partners and representatives of the State and private sectors. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would forward a copy of the statewide programme mentioned and any other document aiming at comprehensive and coordinated policies and programmes of vocational guidance and vocational training as defined in the Convention (Part I of the report form).

2. The Committee recalls that first reports have particular importance since they constitute the basis on which it makes its initial assessment of the observance of ratified Conventions. The Committee therefore requests the Government to make a special effort to supply a report indicating in detail, for each Article of the Convention, the legislation and other measures under which each provision is applied. The Government may deem it useful to consider appropriate forms of ILO assistance in this area.
