Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Paid Educational Leave Convention, 1974 (No. 140) - Guinea (Ratification: 1976)

Further to its previous commments, the Committee notes the Government's reply that specific texts regulating vocational training and development will soon resolve the problems in application of the Convention. Apart from the provisions contained in the Labour Code respecting the vocational training of employees but not covering public officials, no measures have yet been adopted to give effect to the Convention.

The Committee hopes the Government will soon be in a position to show that it has formulated and is applying a policy designed to promote, by methods appropriate to national conditions, the granting of paid educational leave as outlined in the Convention. In the meanwhile, the Committee once again asks the Government to indicate the procedures through which the public authorities, employers' and workers' organisations and institutions providing education and training are associated in the formulation of the policy for the promotion of paid educational leave for the purpose set out in Articles 2 and 3 of the Convention. It hopes the next report will supply details.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1992.]
