The Committee takes note of the information supplied in the Government's report in reply to its previous direct request. It notes with interest that co-operation with employers' and workers' organisations is ensured in the executive bodies of the National Office for Vocational Training and Further Training Office (ONFPP) and the National Employment and Manpower (ONEMO). The Government also indicates that the ONFPP education programme is formulated under the administration of its executive body, to take account of the real needs of employers and workers and of the national economy (Articles 1, paragraph 1, and 5 of the Convention).

The Committee requests the Government to refer to the questions in the report form concerning the practical application of the Convention, and to supply particulars in its next report of the following aspects:

Article 1, paragraphs 2 to 4. Please describe the policies and programmes currently being implemented and indicate in what manner account is taken of the factors mentioned in paragraphs 2 to 4.

Article 1, paragraph 5. See under Convention No. 111.

Article 2. Please describe the systems of general, technical and vocational education, educational and vocational guidance and vocational training. Please indicate, for example, the number of existing vocational schools and vocational training centres, the skills taught and the approximate number of students.

Article 3, paragraph 1. See under Convention No. 122 (point 5 of the 1988 direct request).

Please indicate also any vocational guidance measures which relate specifically to the handicapped.

Article 3, paragraphs 2 and 3. Please describe the type of information made available by the ONFPP and supply specimens of the documentation made available.

Article 4 and point VI of the report form. Please supply information on training policies and programmes for rural areas, small and medium-sized undertakings, craft occupations or particular groups of the population (see Parts V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and X of the Human Resources Development Recommendation, 1975, appended to the report form).

Point V of the report form. Please indicate the action taken as a result of ILO technical assistance to the National Centre for Further Training in Management.

Finally, the Committee recalls that the subject of this Convention may go beyond the immediate competence of the ministry responsible for labour matters, and that the preparation of a full report on the Convention may therefore require consultation with other ministries or government agencies concerned, such as the ONFPP and the ONEMO.
