The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report and in the documentation annexed thereto.

1. The Committee notes from the Regulations on higher educational establishments (approved by Order No. 119 of 1974 of the Council of Ministers of the Mongolian People's Republic) that, among other things, one of the principal objectives of institutions of higher education is to educate students in the ideology of Marx, Lenin and the aims of socialism.

The Committee further notes from the Model Regulations on the certification of specialists with higher and secondary specialised education (approved by Order No. 615 of 1975 of the Council of Ministers of the Mongolian People's Republic) that the first exam is to determine whether a candidate is faithful to the ideals of Marx-Leninism, to international proletarian ideals and to the ideals of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party.

The Committee requests the Government to indicate any measures taken or contemplated to ensure that the above provisions do not nullify or impair equality of opportunity and treatment regarding access to institutions of learning or to particular occupations requiring higher or specialist education, on the basis of political opinion.

The Committee also requests the Government to supply copies of any provisions adopted by ministries and departments pursuant to Order No. 615/1975 concerning the certification of specialists in various sectors and to furnish a copy of the latest adopted text on the procedure for admission to higher educational establishments which, according to the report, is approved annually by the State Committee on Science, Technology and Higher Education.

2. As the Government's report has not replied to its previous comment, the Committee once again requests the Government to supply information on all steps taken for the effective promotion of equality of opportunity and treatment, irrespective of race, sex, religion, national extraction or social origin, and on the results secured with regard to:

(a) access to vocational training;

(b) access to employment and to particular occupations;

(c) terms and conditions of employment. In this connection the Government is more particularly requested to indicate the measures taken to promote equality of opportunity and treatment:

(i) in employment, vocational training and occupational guidance under a national authority;

(ii) through legislation and educational programmes;

(iii) in co-operation with employers' and workers' organisations and other appropriate bodies.

Recalling the Government's earlier reference to the provisions of sections 2, 12, and 78 of the Labour Code, the Committee would again point out that the implementation of the Convention rests upon the adoption of positive measures in pursuance of a national policy designed to promote equality of opportunity and treatment, and requests the Government to supply information on all measures taken on the above-mentioned points.
