Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

Paid Educational Leave Convention, 1974 (No. 140) - Nicaragua (Ratification: 1981)

The Committee notes the documents supplied by the Government in answer to its previous direct request. It notes that the clauses of the appended collective agreement provide, at enterprise level, for the organization of training courses or the grant of scholarships or leave for training. It also notes the provisions of section 38 of the Public Service and Administrative Careers Act concerning the objectives of continuous training for administration personnel.

Referring to the comments it has made for many years, the Committee trusts that the Government will shortly send a full report containing a reply to each of the questions in the report form approved by the Governing Body, and detailed information demonstrating the declaration and pursuit of a policy to promote the granting of paid educational leave in accordance with the provisions of the Convention. In this connection, the Government might find it useful to refer to the Committee's comments on paid educational leave in its 1991 General Survey on the Development of Human Resources, which may facilitate understanding of the requirements of the Convention, if necessary.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 1996.]
