Formulation and application of a policy designed to promote the granting of paid educational leave. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in September 2013 which includes information on some provisions of the Labour Code relating to paid educational leave. It notes that the Labour Code determines the number of leave days per calendar year an employee may be granted when studying at a higher educational institution, a vocational and trade school or other school. Moreover, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that the General Collective Agreement for 2012–13, signed by the tripartite partners, provides for the elaboration of the proposals on the determination of the size of minimum unemployment benefits and educational allowances for the period where one obtains education and training. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide in its next report an evaluation of its policy to promote the granting of paid educational leave (Articles 2, 3 and 10 of the Convention) and to include information on the measures taken to coordinate the policy on paid educational leave with general policies on employment, education and training, and hours of work (Article 4). The Committee also invites the Government to continue to provide in its next report information on how social dialogue is used in the formulation and application of the policy for the promotion of paid educational leave (Article 6), by supplying further information on the implementation of the General Collective Agreement for 2012–13 and its results. Please also provide general information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including extracts from reports, studies and inquiries, and available statistics on the number of workers granted paid educational leave (Part V of the report form).
