Article 1 of the Convention. Formulation and implementation of education and training policies. In its report the Government provides information on the strategies implemented to strengthen the link between training and employment in the interests of poverty reduction. The Government further indicates that post-primary training centres (CFPPs) have been established in order to provide skills training for young people who have not managed to complete primary and secondary (first cycle) school. The Government also refers to initiatives launched by the Ministry of Youth and Youth Employment, such as the establishment of counselling centres, centres for advice and guidance to young people and the implementation of the “Vivre contre Apprentissage” programme. The Committee refers the Government to its comments on the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and requests it to provide detailed information on the manner in which it ensures effective coordination of the vocational guidance and training programmes and policies with employment policies and programmes. It also requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken to secure coordination between the various competent bodies in developing comprehensive and concerted vocational guidance and training policies and programmes. The Committee also requests the Government to provide information on the levels of education, qualifications and training activities in order to allow an assessment of the effect given in practice to all the provisions of the Convention.

Article 5. Cooperation with the social partners. The Committee again draws the Government’s attention to the importance of social dialogue in formulating, implementing and reviewing a national policy on human resource development, education and training. The Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on the participation of the social partners in the formulation and implementation of vocational guidance and training policies and programmes.
