The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be repplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it wil contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request.

With reference to its previous comment, the Committee noted with interest the information supplied by the Government in a previous report to the effect that, following the establishment of trade union organizations in both the public and private sectors, the practice of collective bargaining tended to be introduced and its principle was accepted. The Committee noted in this connection that discussions were held between the Government and the representatives of teachers concerning their conditions of employment and wages. The Committee has requested the Government to supply information on the outcome of these discussions.

The Committee also requested the Government to supply information on the manner in which collective bargaining was carried out in the public and private sectors, including the number of agreements concluded, the workers covered by them and the sectors concerned.
