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. In reply to its previous direct request, the Committee notes that more detailed information concerning the way in which co-operation is ensured with employers' and workers' organisations in the formulation of policies and programmes of vocational guidance and vocational training has been requested from the departments concerned and will be supplied to the Office once it has been received (Article 5 of the Convention). It hopes that the Government will supply this information in the near future and that its report will also contain indications on the action that has been taken or the factors that have prevented or delayed the implementation of the measures designed during the technical co-operation projects with which the ILO was entrusted (Part V of the report form).

2. The Government's report indicates that it has undertaken a reform of the education and training system with the main objective of harmonising training and employment and providing effective guidance at the school and university levels. The Committee hopes that the Government's next report will contain information on the implementation of this reform, and will indicate how policies and programmes are related to employment and to the public employment services.
