Repetition

Article 2 of the Convention. Formulation and application of a policy designed to promote the granting of paid educational leave. The Committee notes the Government’s report for the period ending in May 2013. It further notes the concerns formulated by the Confederation of German Trade Unions (DGB) regarding the limited number of laws adopted by the Länder and the shortage of information on the number of paid education leaves granted. The Committee invites the Government to provide a report containing information on the policies designed to promote the granting of paid educational leave. It also invites the Government to indicate the manner in which employers’ and workers’ organizations, and institutions or bodies providing education and training, are associated with the formulation and application of the policy for the promotion of paid educational leave (Article 6). Please also provide general information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice (Part V of the report form).
