1. Articles 3, 4 and 6 of the Convention. Granting of paid educational leave to all workers. The Committee notes the report received in September 2009 in reply to its previous comments indicating that the Labour Advisory Board was reactivated on 13 March 2009. The Government indicates that the Committee’s comments concerning the development of a national policy on paid educational leave for workers in all sectors of the economy will be submitted to the Labour Advisory Board. The Committee asks the Government to indicate in its next report how the measures taken by the Board have contributed to the design of a national policy on paid educational leave for workers in all sectors of the economy, contributed to the achievement of the objectives set out in Article 3, and coordinated with the general policies enumerated in Article 4.

2. Part V of the report form. Practical application. The Committee notes that presently no study has been conducted to evaluate the practical application of the Convention. The Government indicates in the report that the Public Service Regulations make provision for public officers to be entitled to paid educational leave and some collective agreements signed in the private sector make provision for paid educational leave. The Committee asks the Government to provide in its next report information on the effect given to the Convention through collective agreements, by submitting reports, studies, inquiries, and any available statistics on the number of workers granted paid educational leave in the public and private sectors.
