Paid Educational Leave Convention, 1974 (No. 140) - United Republic of Tanzania (Ratification: 1983)

Tanganyika

The Committee has noted the information provided in reply to its previous request concerning Article 2(c) of the Convention. It again requests the Government to provide details as to the application of the Convention in the private sector, and especially to attach copies of provisions in collective agreements relating to paid educational leave.

Article 8 of the Convention. The Committee recalls the Government's indication that discrimination in the terms of this Article is illegal under the Constitution. However, it notes that paragraph 1.2 of section I of the Parastatal Service Regulations, 1984, governing terms and conditions applicable to attendance at in-service courses or higher education in East Africa, requires recommendation by the Party. The Committee refers to the indications in paragraph 404 of its General Survey on Paid Educational Leave and asks the Government to describe how it ensures that paid educational leave is not denied to workers on the ground of political opinion, as required by this Article of the Convention.

The Committee has noted with interest the indications given by the Government. It would be grateful if the Government would provide copies - or if that is not possible a summary - of the legislation referred to, i.e. section 47 of the Education Law 1982, Civil Servant Circulars UTU/AR/M.140/I/Vol.III/15, UTU/AR/M.140/I/Vol.III/08 and UTU/AR/M.140/I/Vol.III/125.
