Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2006, publiée 96ème session CIT (2007)

The Committee notes the Government’s report for the period ending June 2005 and observes that the brief indications contained therein do not enable it to assess the effect given to the provisions of the Convention. Furthermore, the Committee notes with concern that the Government stresses that there is no policy for the promotion of paid educational leave. In this regard, it recalls the fundamental requirement, set out in Article 2 of the Convention, to “formulate and apply a policy designed to promote, by methods appropriate to national conditions and practice and by stages as necessary, the granting of paid educational leave” for the various purposes laid down. The Committee hopes to find in the Government’s next report information on the measures taken or envisaged for this purpose. It invites the Government to supply full information on the effect given to each provision of the Convention and to supply all reports, studies, inquiries and statistics allowing appreciation of the application of the Convention in practice (Part V of the draft report).
