Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1989, published 76th ILC session (1989)

Human Resources Development Convention, 1975 (No. 142) - Afghanistan (Ratification: 1979)

The Committee has noted the brief information provided in reply to its previous direct request. It welcomes, in particular, the establishment of the Ministry of Vocational Training which is to draw up programmes in the light of present skill shortages. The Committee hopes that the next report will include the code on young specialists referred to, together with copies of any regulations issued under sections 40 to 47 of the Labour Code, showing steps taken to implement the Convention. The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would endeavour to provide any available statistics for the numbers receiving basic education (including literacy) as well as vocational training in various skills and regions of the country; and any consultations on vocational guidance and training policies with employers' and workers' representatives, as required by the Convention.
