Articles 2–5 of the Convention. Granting of paid educational leave. The Committee notes that the Government has not provided a reply to its previous comments on this point. It therefore reiterates its request that the Government of Aruba further describe how it promotes the right to paid educational leave in both the public and private sectors. It also once again invites the Government to provide further details on how the granting of paid educational leave contributes to the promotion of appropriate continuing education and training in the terms of the Convention, along the lines of the report form approved by the Governing Body of the ILO.

Article 6. Participation of the social partners. The Committee notes that the Government has not provided a reply to its previous comments on this point. The Committee therefore once again invites the Government to indicate the measures envisaged to promote the participation of the social partners in the formulation and application of the policy for the promotion of paid educational leave.

Article 11. Assimilation to a period of effective service. The Committee notes that the Government has not provided a reply to its previous comments on this point. It therefore reiterates its request that the Government indicate the measures taken to assimilate the period of paid educational leave to a period of effective service for the purpose of establishing claims to social benefits and other rights deriving from the employment relationship.

Application of the Convention in practice.Noting the absence of a response from the Government on this point, the Committee reiterates its request that the Government provide information in its next report, including disaggregated statistics on the number of workers granted paid educational leave (Part V of the report form).
