Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Convention.  The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s detailed report. In response to previous comments, the Government states that it has passed the Employment Promotion Services Act No. 9 of 1999, which intends to re-establish employment exchange offices; and the national Employment Policy of 1997 is being revised to take into consideration the promotion of full employment and productivity growth. The Government predicts that artisans will form the basis of future industrial development and therefore is concentrating its resources on training of artisans. The Government also states that the VETA is modifying its courses to account for the growing informal sector and the increase in demand for short, focused courses. The Committee would appreciate continuing to receive information on how the education and training policy is integrated into the larger employment policy of the Government.

Article 1, paragraph 5.  The Government states that education is provided without discrimination according to expressed needs. The Committee would appreciate receiving disaggregated statistics on the education and training participation and placement rates.

The Committee also notes the Government’s statement that there was a VETA Labour Force Study completed in 1996 and a Labour Force Study by the Minister of Labour and Youth is currently being undertaken. Please send a copy of the VETA study, and that of the Ministry of Labour and Youth when it is completed.
