1. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in June 2003 which again refers to the provisions of the Labour Code. The Committee previously noted that the Labour Code provides for the granting of paid educational leave only for the purpose of general or technical studies in secondary or higher education (Article 2(b) of the Convention). The Committee observed that the provisions of the Labour Code do not appear to establish a "policy" designed to promote the granting of paid educational leave within the meaning of the Convention. It therefore reiterates its direct request of 2003 concerning the following points.

2. Formulation and application of a policy. Please indicate how any policy to promote the granting of paid educational leave for the purposes of vocational training at all levels (Article 2(a)) and of trade union education (Article 2(c)) was formulated.

3. Functions of paid educational leave. Please indicate the measures taken under the paid educational leave policy to contribute to the acquisition, improvement and adaptation of occupational and functional skills and the promotion of employment and job security in conditions of scientific and technological development and economic and structural change (Article 3(a)), to the competent and active participation of workers and their representatives in the life of the undertaking and the community (Article 3(b)), to the human, social and cultural advancement of workers (Article 3(c)), and the terms on which educational leave is granted for each of these purposes (see also Article 10).

4. Coordination with general policies. Please indicate the measures taken to coordinate the policy on paid educational leave with general policies on employment, education and training and hours of work, and state to what extent the implementation of the national policy on paid educational leave takes account of seasonal variations of hours of work or of volume of work (Article 4).

5. Participation of the social partners. Please describe the manner in which public authorities, employers’ and workers’ organizations, and institutions or bodies providing education or training are associated with the formulation and application of the policy for the promotion of paid educational leave (Article 6).

6. Financial arrangements. Please describe the measures taken or envisaged to ensure regular financing of arrangements for paid educational leave for the purposes of training at all levels and of trade union education (Article 7).

7. Practical information and statistical data. Please provide information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including extracts from reports, studies and inquiries or any available statistical data on the number of workers granted paid educational leave (Part V of the report form).
