Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1998, publiée 87ème session CIT (1999)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee takes note of the Government's report, from which it observes that there is only a partial reply to its previous direct request. It notes with interest the training and education appearing among priorities of the "plan contract" concluded between the State and the Territory for the period 1989-93. In this respect the Government indicates that the planning of initial, vocational and continuing training is aimed at adapting workers to demographic changes and to the needs of the labour market. The Committee notes the development aims of training in the fields of agriculture, hotels and tourism, and those for handicapped workers. It would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report how the aims that it has set itself will be attained and to supply information on any new extension of the vocational training systems, in accordance with Article 4 of the Convention.

The Committee recalls that its previous direct request also concerned the activities of the Agency and Fund for Employment and Vocational Training. Please also provide the description already requested of the vocational guidance systems, of general, technical and vocational education and of vocational training, giving details on the methods used to ensure their openness, flexibility and complementarity, in accordance with Article 2. Please indicate the measures taken to ensure, in accordance with Article 3, that information and vocational training is received by the interested parties, in particular handicapped persons, and describe the type of information available to this end.
