Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2003, Publicación: 92ª reunión CIT (2004)

The Committee notes with interest the detailed information provided by the Government on the application of the Convention in French Polynesia. The Government transmitted the reports on the decisions adopted in June 2003 by the Assembly of French Polynesia approving the assessment of the application of the Education Charter, adopted in 1992, and the prospects for action in the field of education. The Committee notes that one-third of the territory’s operating budget appears to be allocated to education. New vocational training facilities are being established in Travao to support the second economic pole of development of Tahiti, and in Raiatea to support the development of the Leeward Islands. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would include in its next report information on the results achieved with a view to reducing the inequalities between Tahiti and its islands, through the restructuring of the educational framework and the integration of young persons into the labour market in the fields covered by the Convention. Please also continue to provide practical information on the manner in which the provisions of the Convention are given effect, and supply disaggregated statistical data on the levels and trends of the labour market, as requested in Part VI of the report form.
