The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s report received in May 2009. The Government indicates that it has a training policy that provides guiding principles and procedures for the continuous professional development of public servants. The Committee also notes the Government’s indication that the policy takes into consideration the present and future training needs of the private sector. A training needs survey is administered each year and a centralized training programme is determined. The Training Policy Committee advises on training needs and priorities, as they affect the public service and welfare of the country. The Committee invites the Government to provide further information on the measures taken, within the framework of a national policy on paid educational leave for workers in all sectors of the economy in order to contribute to the achievement of the objectives set out in Article 3 of the Convention, and coordinated with the general policies enumerated in Article 4. It also invites the Government to include in its next report a general assessment of the manner in which the Convention is applied, including extracts of reports, studies and inquiries covering both the public and private sectors (Part V of the report form).
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 previous direct request, which read as follows:
In reply to its 2002 direct request, the Government of Anguilla indicates that the public authorities, employers’ and workers’ organizations are represented in the Training Policy Committee (TPC). Please specify the contribution of the TPC to the formulation and application of a policy for the promotion of paid educational leave within the meaning of the Convention (Article 6 of the Convention). The Committee once again asks the Government to describe in detail the manner in which effect is given to the provisions of the Convention in the public sector, and the measures taken, including collective agreements, to give effect to the provisions of the Convention in the private sector.
The Committee notes the reports submitted by the Government of Anguilla containing detailed information on the implementation of the policy of paid educational leave in the public sector. The Committee also notes the statement that no measures have been taken to promote the granting of paid educational leave in the private sector. It requests the Government in its next report to continue describing the manner in which effect is given to the provisions of the Convention in the public sector, and it hopes that the Government will indicate the measures taken and any practices, including collective agreements, in this respect in the private sector. Please also indicate the procedures through which public authorities, employers’ and workers’ organizations, and institutions or bodies providing education and training are associated with the formulation and application of the policy for the promotion of paid educational leave (Article 6 of the Convention).
The Committee notes with regret 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 previous direct request, which read as follows:
The Committee notes that no change has taken place in application of the Convention during the period ending in June 1994. With reference to its previous comments, it notes, however, that the Government envisaged promoting the granting of paid educational leave in the private sector, in particular in the framework of amending labour legislation. The Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report any progress which has been made in this respect, in association with all the persons mentioned by Article 6 of the Convention.
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 previous direct request, which reads as follows:
Further to its previous comments, the Committee has noted the provisions as to paid educational leave operating in the public service. It hopes that future reports will indicate any further steps taken in this respect as well as any measures - whether collective agreements or otherwise - applying to the private sector.
Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the provisions concerning paid educational leave in the public sector contained in the General Regulations of 1978. It notes that new regulations have recently been enacted and asks the Government to transmit a copy of them.
The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply with its next report information on the measures taken or contemplated to promote the granting of paid educational leave in the private sector for the purpose of training and general, social and civic education (Article 2(a) and (b) of the Convention).
