Article 1(1) and (2) of the Convention. Formulation and implementation of policies and programmes of vocational guidance and vocational training. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in October 2014, which contains detailed information in reply to the 2009 direct request and up-to-date statistical data relating to participation in vocational and educational training activities and programmes. It also notes the comprehensive reform to the Vocational Training Act and the adoption of a new National Public Education Act, both of which entered into force in 2012. The Committee notes with interest that section II of the National Public Education Act enshrines the duty of the State to ensure both free and accessible education until secondary school is completed as well as the training for the first vocational qualification. In this regard, the Government emphasizes its attempt to move towards a dual training scheme, consisting of both theoretical and work-based learning. The Government reports that 25 per cent of the 25–34 year olds participated in training programmes outside a school-type system in 2012 and that the number of participants in school-type training programmes in the 2012–13 academic year reached 350,891. The Committee notes that, by virtue of Government Decree No. 150 of 2012, the content and structure of the National Qualification Register (OKJ) was redesigned with the aim of recognizing training obtained outside the formal vocational education system. The Committee invites the Government to continue providing information on the manner in which its vocational guidance and vocational training policies and programmes are linked with the national employment objectives and co-ordinated with public employment services. It also requests the Government to include information on the outcomes of policies and programmes on vocational training in the economically most disadvantaged regions.

Article 5. Cooperation with the social partners. The Committee notes that, pursuant to the National Training Act, the Minister responsible for vocational and adult training is assisted by the National Vocational and Adult Training Committee (NSZFT), a consultative body composed of a wide range of stakeholders, including the social partners. Since 2011, consultations on the national strategic issues of vocational training have also taken place within the National Economic and Social Council (NGTT). The Committee invites the Government to continue providing information on the cooperation of employers’ and workers’ organizations as well as other interested bodies in the formulation and implementation of vocational guidance and vocational training policies and programmes.
