Formulation and implementation of education and training policies. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in August 2008 referring to measures taken to establish a flexible system of professional guidance which is responsive to the changing requirements of the labour market. The Government indicates that an Interdepartmental Council on Professional and Technical Education under the Cabinet of Ministers was established, including representatives of the social partners and the educational establishments. It further reports that more than 1,000 State vocational and technical establishments existed in Ukraine which provided education to about half a million persons per annum. More than 900 higher educational institutions provided education to some 3 million persons of whom 1.5 million were full-time students. The Government also refers to round tables, business meetings, extended workshops, national and regional conferences and debates held with the social partners on vocational training and vocational guidance. The Committee refers to its 2009 observation on the application of the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), in which it asks the Government to report on training programmes and initiatives taken to promote the return of unemployed persons to employment, as well as on measures taken to coordinate education and training policies and prospective employment opportunities. In this respect, the Committee refers to Article 1(1), of Convention No. 142 which requires that Members shall adopt and develop comprehensive and coordinated policies and programmes of vocational guidance and vocational training, closely linked with employment, in particular through public employment services. The Committee invites the Government to communicate any extracts from reports, studies, inquiries or statistical data which will allow an examination of the results achieved by the policies, programmes and measures adopted to give effect to Convention No. 142.
