Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2009, Publicación: 99ª reunión CIT (2010)

Granting paid educational leave. The Committee notes the information, including statistical data, contained in the Government’s report received in August 2008, indicating the continuation of the initiatives taken by the Government to strengthen the system of vocational guidance and to improve the system of vocational education in the rural areas. It further notes the amendment to the Act on Employment Promotion and Labour Market Institutions, enabling the employment of unemployed persons as replacements for employees benefiting from paid training leave for a period not shorter than 22 days and containing incentives to encourage participation in training, which were currently used insufficiently. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on measures taken to raise awareness of the availability of paid educational leave as part of the lifelong learning possibilities and would be grateful if the Government would continue providing general information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including statistics on the number of workers granted paid educational leave (Part V of the report form).
