Article 12 of the Convention. The Committee takes note of the interest expressed by the Executive Council in the suggestions made by the Committee in its ealier comments. It asks the Government to refer to the comments made this year on Convention No. 95 and hopes that the Government will adopt amendments to the Labour Code that will give effect to the Convention.

Article 15. The Committee takes note of the information on the efforts made by the Executive Council to equip the National Education, Guidance and Training Institution with the most appropriate means and techniques to enable it to improve its services and gradually extend them over the whole national territory. The Committee also notes that the Basic Act on national education emphasises the strengthening of educational and vocational training programmes with a view to preparing children and young persons properly for a useful occupation. The Committee wishes to remind the Government that, according to earlier reports, it was studying a draft revised Labour Code fixing the age of admission to employment at 16 years. The Committee hopes that the draft in question will shortly be adopted and that it will be possible in future to fix the end of school attendance at the same age. The Government is asked to indicate in forthcoming reports the progress made in this connection.
