Article 4 of the Convention. Coordination of the policy to promote the granting of paid educational leave with general policies on employment, education and training, and working time. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report concerning the legislation relevant to the application of the Convention. The Government refers to section 476A of the Consolidated Labour Law, as the most relevant legislation in relation to the Convention. The Committee notes that subsection 3 of section 467A provides that an employer may pay a monthly stipend to an employee whose employment contract is suspended under section 467A for purposes of attending vocational training. The article does not require the employer to grant paid educational leave for purposes of Article 2(a)–(c) of the Convention. Noting that the Government has not replied to its 2015 request for information regarding the application of Article 4 of the Convention, the Committee reiterates its request that the Government indicate the manner in which it ensures that the national policy on paid educational leave is coordinated with other general policies on employment, education and training, and working time. It also requests the Government to indicate the manner in which it ensures the effective application of Article 2 (promoting the granting of paid educational leave for the purposes specified therein).
