Paid Educational Leave Convention, 1974 (No. 140) - Jersey

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which reads as follows:

The Committee notes that there has been no recent change in the measures to enable employees to undertake training in their area of occupational specialization through public subsidies covering the cost of the training and the leave. It would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report whether measures have also been taken or are envisaged to promote the granting of paid educational leave for the purpose of general, social and civic education, and trade union education, as set out in Article 2(b) and (c) of the Convention. Please also provide any statistics which may be available concerning the number of workers granted paid educational leave (Part V of the report form).
