The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. The Government indicates that coordination between the INCE and the various ministries concerned is conducted informally. Please indicate how vocational guidance and vocational training are "closely linked with employment, in particular through public employment services", as required by Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee notes that a committee composed of representatives from the various ministries and from employers' and workers' organizations, has been asked to conduct a study on the modernization of the INCE. Please provide information on the work of the above committee, its conclusions and, if any, the action taken as a result.

2. The Committee notes the statistical data concerning the implementation of the INCE training programmes according to their type and level. Please continue to provide detailed information on the content of the programmes implemented, stating how they take account of the factors referred to in paragraphs 2-4 of Article 1 of the Convention.

3. The Committee notes that the Government's report does not contain the information requested on the effect given to the provisions of Article 3 of the Convention. With reference to its previous requests, it would be grateful if the Government would describe the measures to ensure that children, young persons and adults receive full information and the broadest possible guidance. Please describe the type of information available for this purpose and provide samples of available documentation. Please provide, in particular a copy of the vocational guidance handbook which, according to the 1987 Government's report, was in the process of being prepared.
