Convention (n° 140) sur le congé-éducation payé, 1974 - Guyana (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes 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 Committee notes the Government’s report and the attached documents which describe the various initiatives and efforts taken to promote continuing education and training. It requests the Government to provide more detailed information on the manner in which the various training programmes and plans implement paid educational leave, as provided for by the Convention. It also hopes that the Government will be in a position to provide statistics on the number of workers in both the public and private sectors who have benefited from paid educational leave during the period covered by the next report (Part V of the report form).

2. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the arrangements for the participation of employers’ and workers’ organizations in the formulation and application of the policy for the promotion of paid education leave (Article 6 of the Convention).
