Convenio sobre la licencia pagada de estudios, 1974 (núm. 140) - Guinea (Ratificación : 1976)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. Policy for the promotion of paid educational leave and its application in practice. The Committee notes the communication, in response to its previous comments, of Ordinance No. 91/026 of 11 March 1991 on continual vocational training and apprenticeship, which amends and supplements certain provisions of the Labour Code and guarantees, for employees who are selected by the management of an enterprise to undertake a training or further training course, that the period of training will be considered to be a period of work. With regard to provisions applicable to public servants, the Committee notes that the Government refers to Decree No. D/2003/PRG/SGG, which establishes the procedures for the implementation of the general conditions of service of public servants in respect of administrative posts, and to Act No. L/2001/028/An, which adopts and promulgates the law issuing the general conditions of service of public servants. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would communicate copies of these texts.

2. Furthermore, since the brief indications contained in the Government’s report do not allow the Committee to ascertain the effect given to the provisions of the Convention, the Committee trusts that the Government will provide, in its next report, detailed information to demonstrate that it has formulated and that it applies, in accordance with Article 2 of the Convention, a policy designed to promote the granting of paid educational leave for the various purposes of training and education specified. The Committee also asks the Government to describe the manner in which public authorities, employers’ and workers’ organizations, and institutions providing education and training are associated with the formulation of the policy for the promotion of paid educational leave (Article 6). Lastly, the Committee invites the Government to communicate all reports, studies, inquiries and statistics which will allow it to assess the extent of the application of the Convention in practice (Part V of the report form).
