The Committee takes note of the detailed information supplied by the Government concerning the measures taken to provide comprehensive information on the opportunities open to young persons, the disabled and adults as regards vocational training (Article 3 of the Convention). It also notes with interest that the Institute of Employment and Vocational Training (IFEP) and the National Apprenticeship Committee (CNA) comprise bodies in which co-operation with the social partners is ensured (Article 5). The Government states that the IFEP is preparing a "general law on vocational training", and that it intends to set up a permanent training system for adults. The Committee hopes that the new measures will take full account of the provisions of paragraphs 2 to 5 of Article 1, and Article 4. It requests the Government to continue to supply full information on the effect of the measures implemented and on the new measures taken or contemplated. The Government is also asked to provide the information requested previously on occupational and technical education carried out under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry and Energy (Institute for Assistance to Small and Medium-Sized Industrial Enterprises, the Technical Training Centre of the National Engineering and Industrial Technology Laboratory) or the Ministry of Agriculture (regional agricultural vocational training centres) (Article 2).
