Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in answer to its previous direct request. It also notes the information on the implementation of the "National Strategy for Employment and Human Resources Development for 2000-2006" in cooperation with the social partners. It notes the information that there are no special measures concerning the conditions applicable to the worker and training which must be fulfilled for a worker to be referred for educational training and to be entitled to paid educational leave. The conditions for the granting of such leave are negotiated between the employer and the worker.

The Committee hopes that in future reports the Government will provide detailed information on how the Convention is applied in practice, including extracts of relevant studies, inquiries or reports and available statistics of the number of workers receiving paid educational leave (Part V of the report form).
