1. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous comments and notes that women make up 24.5 per cent of the staff of the public service and that they represent 23.5 per cent of middle and higher management, 31.9 per cent of supervisory staff and 42.5 per cent of administrative staff. The Committee also notes that the number of women in positions of responsibility in the public sector is 1,880, which represents 7.8 per cent of the number of men in positions of responsibility. The Committee hopes that the Government will continue to endeavour to promote the access of women to the public service and to positions of responsibility and that it will provide information on any developments in this connection.

2. The Committee also notes with interest the establishment, under Decree No. 88-306 of 25 February 1988, in the Ministry of Social Affairs, of a Directorate for the Education and Training of Women, which is responsible for promoting the vocational training of women and facilitating their productive participation in development. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the practical work of this Directorate, and particularly on any positive measure taken to formulate and develop education and training programmes for women and girls, and to promote vocational training for them in various skills as a function of the needs of the area. The Committee also requests the Government to indicate any progress achieved in the areas of the training and the participation of women in trades and occupations that are not traditionally exercised by women. The Committee would be grateful, in particular, to be provided with statistics on this subject.
