Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

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

The Committee notes the Government's report and the information which it contains in reply to its previous direct request. It notes the information concerning the functions of the local and sectoral commissions and of the National Vocational Training Council. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply further information in its next report on the composition of these bodies, the manner in which their members are appointed and the frequency of their meetings. The Committee notes with interest the report on the application of the recommendations of the National Advisory Vocational Training Council. It requests the Government to continue to supply with its future reports extracts of relevant reports, studies and inquiries concerning vocational training and guidance policies and programmes. Please also supply any statistical data available on apprenticeship and vocational training.

With reference to its previous direct request and its comments on the application of Convention No. 122, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply information on the manner in which these policies and programmes are related to employment and the employment services, as well as describing the training opportunities available to young persons within the framework of the system for the vocational integration of young persons, the unemployed and the disabled. Please also indicate the action which has been taken or is envisaged as a result of the assistance and advice provided by the technical services of the ILO as well as any factors which may have prevented or delayed such action (Part V of the report form).
