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 2012 direct request, which read as follows:
Repetition
Article 1 of the Convention. Policies and programmes. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in May 2012 in reply to its previous comments. The Government indicates that it has achieved significant progress in adopting and implementing comprehensive and coordinated policies and programmes of vocational guidance and training linked with employment through the Central Recruitment and Placement Agency (CRMA). The Ministry of Labour has been collaborating through the Board of Industrial Training (BIT) with other industries and institutions to provide vocational education and training. The Government indicates that the Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) developed a policy document, which is being reviewed by stakeholders. It is also working out strategies to standardize the various levels of TVET in the country. The Committee refers to its 2010 General Survey concerning employment instruments, in which it recalled that the terms “policies and programmes” under Article 1(1) of the Convention, imply a strategy consisting of policies to be implemented by means of concrete programmes (paragraph 145 of the 2010 General Survey). The Committee invites the Government to provide detailed information on policies and programmes of vocational guidance and vocational training adopted and their implementation. Please provide a copy of the policy document developed by the TVET Council.
Article 1(5). Coverage of specific categories of persons by the vocational training system. The Committee notes that under the National Training Project for Youth Empowerment (NTYPE), young girls and boys are trained in areas such as computer use, pharmacy, cosmetology, welding, air conditioning and refrigeration and information technology. Under the Single Parents Programme, a number of women were trained in areas including cosmetology, catering, garment manufacturing and clerical office practice. The Government indicates that there is an ongoing programme to train young women and single mothers in disciplines in which they are interested with a view to their empowerment. The Committee asks the Government to continue to provide information on the implementation of projects and programmes in line with Article 1(5) of the Convention.
Article 5. Cooperation with employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee asks the Government to indicate whether employers’ and workers’ organizations are represented within the TVET Council, and how they otherwise participate in the formulation and implementation of policies and programmes for vocational guidance and training.
