The Committee notes the provisions of Act No. 12 of 1992 respecting the Workers’ Education Institute. The Committee notes that in accordance with section 11 of this Act, it is the responsibility of the competent trade union authority to nominate, in cooperation with the employer concerned, the workers who wish to attend courses organized by the Institute. The Committee requests the Government to state the conditions that workers are required to fulfil to be nominated, taking into consideration Articles 3, 8 and 10 of the Convention.
