The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report, indicating that efforts are currently being made to improve the collection of statistical information on vocational training and that the conclusions of several surveys will be given effect by the end of 2003. It also notes that one of the components of the PHARE 2000 Project covers issues relating to cooperation among the social partners. The Committee would therefore be grateful if the Government would continue providing in future reports information on developments relating to the manner in which the public authorities and social partners are involved in the formulation and application of the policy for the promotion of paid educational leave for men and women workers (Article 6 of the Convention). Please also provide general information on the manner on which the Convention is applied in practice, including statistics on the number of workers granted paid educational leave (Part V of the report form).
