Articles 2 and 6 of Convention. Policy for the promotion of paid educational leave. Participation of the social partners. Application in practice. In reply to the Committee’s previous comments, which related to the existence of a policy to promote the granting of educational leave, the Government indicates that the country does not have a policy on this subject. However, the Government refers in its report to the legal provisions deeming a period of educational leave to be time actually worked (section 222.9 of Act No. L/2014/072/CNT of 10 January 2014 issuing the Labour Code and section 44 of Act No. L/2001/028/AN of 31 December 2001 issuing the general conditions of employment of public officials). The Government indicates that, as set out in the Labour Code, paid educational leave is granted following the allocation of a training grant at all levels of general, social, civic and trade union education. In this regard, the Committee notes that, in the case of workers’ educational leave, the contract of employment is suspended. Moreover, in the case of public officials, the Committee notes that the entitlement of public officials to remuneration and promotion may be suspended due to engagement in studies and research of general interest, and that the duration of the suspension cannot be less than one year or more than two years. The Committee trusts that the Government will provide detailed information demonstrating that it has formulated and is applying a policy designed to promote the granting of paid educational leave for the various training and education purposes set out in the Convention. It requests the Government to describe the manner in which the public authorities, employers’ and workers’ organizations and institutions providing education and training are associated with the formulation and application of the policy to promote paid educational leave. Finally, the Committee invites the Government to provide any reports, studies, inquiries and statistics indicating the level to which the Convention is applied in practice.
