Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

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

The Committee notes the Government's report and the information it contains in reply to its previous request. It notes that the explanations relate to participation, with maintenance of wages, in vocational training organized by the National Institute of Technology (INATEC).

The Committee recalls that under Article 2 of the Convention the policy of promoting the granting of paid educational leave must also apply to general, social and civic education or trade union education, by methods appropriate to national conditions and practice and by stages as necessary. It requests the Government to indicate in its next report whether new measures have been taken or are contemplated in this regard.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 1998.]
