The Committee notes with interest the full and detailed information provided by the Government in its report for the period ending June 1998. The Committee notes in particular that the reforms which were adopted during the period covered by the Government's report, were elaborated as a consequence of the agreements concluded between the employers' and workers' organizations in December 1992 and December 1996. The Committee notes that the principal objectives of the National Vocational Training Programme for 1998-2002, approved by the Government upon recommendation of the General Council for Vocational Training, include the improved integration of the initial and continued training systems, in particular, by developing a national system of qualifications and establishing closer links between training and active employment policies. The Committee notes with satisfaction that the human resource development policy is in full conformity with the requirements of the Convention, not only in its principles and objectives but also in its formulation and implementation. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide detailed information in its next report in respect of the application of this policy, at both the national and provincial levels.
