Previous comment
Articles 2 to 5 the Convention. Granting of paid educational leave. The Committee notes the Government’s brief report, which does not provide concrete information on the application of the Convention in response to the Committee’s previous comments. The Government reports that there is no statistical information available to enable an assessment of the impact of the revised scheme under the General Orders on workers’ uptake of educational leave when only partial funding is granted. The Committee trusts that the Government will soon be in a position to provide detailed and updated information on the formulation and application, in collaboration with the social partners, of policies and measures to encourage the granting of paid educational leave for the purpose of vocational training at any level, as well as for general, social and civic education and trade union education, both in the public and private sectors. It also reiterates its request that the Government provide information regarding the manner in which the paid educational leave policy is coordinated with general policies on employment, education and training, and hours of work, as required under Article 4 of the Convention. Moreover, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide detailed information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice in both the public and private sectors, including extracts of reports, studies and inquiries, and disaggregated statistics on the number of workers who benefited from paid educational leave during the reporting period.
