1. The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government concerning the activities of the Ecuadorian Vocational Training Service (SECAP). The Government states that the middle-school centres, which are under the control of the Ministry of Education, are responsible for vocational guidance. The Committee requests the Government to supply information in its next report on the way in which information concerning educational opportunities, the employment situation and employment prospects is kept up-to-date with a view to providing effective vocational guidance (Article 3 of the Convention).

2. The Committee also refers to its comments concerning Convention No. 122, and requests the Government to continue supplying detailed information on the measures that have been adopted and the progress achieved in the provision of vocational training and guidance adapted to the employment needs of the country (Articles 1 and 4). The Committee would be grateful in particular if the Office were supplied with extracts from reports, studies and inquiries, statistical data, etc., regarding training policies and programmes in certain sectors and branches of activity and for certain population groups referred to in Parts V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and X of the Human Resources Development Recommendation, 1975 (point VI of the report form).

3. The Government refers in its report to the technical assistance and loans received from various governments and international organisations, including the ILO. In this respect the Committee requests the Government in its next report to indicate the activities undertaken as a result of the technical co-operation for which the ILO has been the executing agency, as required by point V of the report form.
