The Committee notes the Government’s report received in July 2009, which largely reproduces the information included in its 2005 and 2008 reports. The Committee asks the Government once again to send copies of the legislative and regulatory texts which give effect to Convention No. 140.
1. Article 2 of the Convention. Formulation and application of a policy designed to promote the granting of paid educational leave. The Committee recalls that the Labour Code provisions cited by the Government in its first report received in 2005 did not establish any “policy” designed to promote the granting of paid educational leave within the meaning of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to indicate whether a policy has been formulated to promote the granting of paid educational leave for the purpose of occupational training at any level and also for the purpose of trade union education.
2. Article 6. Association of governmental institutions, other bodies and the social partners. Please indicate the manner in which the public authorities, employers’ and workers’ organizations, and institutions or bodies providing education or training are associated with the formulation and application of the policy for the promotion of paid educational leave.
3. Part V of the report form. Practical and statistical information. Please provide information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including any extracts from reports, studies or inquiries and any statistics available on the number of workers granted paid educational leave.
[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2010.]
