Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2009, publiée 99ème session CIT (2010)

The Committee notes the Government’s report received in June 2008. The Government reiterates that there is no policy for the promotion of paid education leave, because the matter is regulated in detail under collective and other enterprise-internal agreements. In this regard, the Committee recalls once again that the requirement, set out in Article 2 of the Convention, is 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”. The Committee invites the Government to provide in its next report extracts of the collective agreements and other relevant regulatory texts which give effect to the Convention. It hopes that the report will also contain information on the effect given to each provision of the Convention and other useful documentation such as reports, studies, inquiries and statistics allowing an appreciation of the application of the Convention in practice (Part V of the report form).
