Granting of paid educational leave to all workers. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in August 2013 in which it indicates that two specific measures have been taken, within the framework of the National Employment Policy 2008, to contribute to the attainment of the objectives set out in Article 3 of the Convention. The first measure is the adoption in 2010 of the Second National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty 2014–15 which ensures the expansion of quality technical and vocational education and training, higher education, adult, non-formal and continuing education. The second measure is the development of the Adult and Non-Formal Education Development Plan 2012/13–2016/17, which aims to ensure that out-of-school children, illiterate youth and adults obtain quality education, create a lifelong learning society and improve people’s livelihood. The Government indicates that enrolment of students in all continuing education programmes has increased. The Committee notes that enrolment in open and distance learning at secondary level has increased from 5,767 in 2004 to 64,338 in 2011 and that most of the students were females. Moreover, the Committee notes that, in 2011–12, a total of 5,269 workers from various sectors were sensitized on labour laws with particular reference to employment standards, fundamental principles and protection and collective bargaining. The Committee invites the Government to provide further information in its next report on the measures taken within the framework of the National Employment Policy to contribute to the achievement of the objectives set out in Article 3 of the Convention, and coordinated with the general policies enumerated in Article 4. It also invites the Government to provide any reports, studies, surveys or statistical data allowing the Committee to assess the extent to which the Convention is applied in practice (Part V of the report form).
