The Committee notes the detailed report and the relevant legislation provided in reply to its previous comments.

1. Articles 1 and 5 of the Convention. Determination of action for the implementation of policies and programmes of vocational guidance and vocational training. The Committee notes the reforms and priority action determined with a view to strengthening the national vocational training system and adapting it to employment trends and social and economic changes, particularly through the establishment of an environment of concerted action and intersectoral coordination. It notes that the implementation of priority actions is envisaged in the context of bi- and multinational cooperation. Recalling that, in accordance with Article 5, policies and programmes of vocational guidance and vocational training shall be formulated and implemented in cooperation with employers’ and workers’ organizations and, as appropriate, with other interested bodies, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would: (i) indicate the manner in which effect is given to this provision; (ii) provide the laws or regulations serving as a basis for the implementation of the action planned; and (iii) indicate the bodies or authorities responsible for coordinating these actions. The Government is also requested to keep the ILO informed of the implementation in practice of the policies and programmes initiated, their development and the results achieved in terms of employment, which is one of the major objectives of the policies and programmes covered by Article 1 of the Convention (paragraph 64 of the General Survey of 1991 on human resources development).

2. Articles 3 and 4. Coverage by the vocational training system of persons experiencing difficulties, women and persons with disabilities. The Committee notes with interest the establishment, under the terms of Ministerial Orders Nos. 41 and 42 of 4 July 2000, of a system intended to provide training to young persons who have not achieved the required level to follow the initial training provided by vocational training and apprenticeship centres, with priority being accorded to those from underprivileged backgrounds, who have left the educational system or who have never attended school. The Committee notes with interest that nearly 40,000 girls have received training through this system. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the number of training places available provided by this system, and their geographical distribution.

The Committee also notes with interest the implementation of training programmes for women, especially under Act No. 2000-01 amending and supplementing Act No. 81-07 of 27 June 1981 on apprenticeship, raising the final age for admission from 25 to 30 years for women wishing to have access to apprenticeship, and targeting unmarried women, unemployed widows or divorced women, women who are socially disadvantaged, those whose spouses are in long-term unemployment, former detainees and adult women who were formerly orphans in state care. Circular No. 1 of 4 May 2004, targeting housewives, has made it possible to provide evening courses free of charge so that they can acquire a qualification and skills which allow them to meet their needs and also contribute to the economic and social development of the country. The Committee further notes that agreements have been concluded with various active partners in the field of vocational training for the promotion of women, with technical and educational support being provided to these partners and training activities implemented jointly. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide copies of the agreements concluded with partners acting in the field of vocational training of women, indicate whether training for housewives is available throughout the territory and provide the relevant statistics where they are available.

The Committee notes with interest that, in 2004, training activities were launched for persons with disabilities, including the maintenance and opening of special regional sections and the diversification of the training supply for the blind. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the geographical distribution of the training centres maintained and newly established and the number of places available in the courses provided by them. It also asks the Government to keep the ILO informed of any new measures which may be taken to reinforce or pursue the measures adopted for the training and vocational guidance of persons with disabilities.

3. Article 3. Development of vocational information and guidance systems. The Committee notes with interest that the means of communication of the vocational training and education sector have been diversified through the establishment of a reception, information and guidance office, the publication of the guide to training courses and the yearbook of training establishments on the Ministry’s web site, the development of local information through the dissemination of notices, brochures, prospectuses and CD-ROMs, and the publication of advertisements in national and regional newspapers. Youth centres and associations have also been called upon to contribute to the dissemination of the relevant information. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the manner in which information on education, training, professions and the employment market is kept up to date with a view to providing effective vocational guidance.

4. Part VI of the report form. Please provide extracts of reports, studies and inquiries on policies and programmes of vocational guidance and vocational training (for example, reports of the National Advisory Council on Vocational Training and of the wilaya commissions responsible for vocational training).
