1. The Committee notes the Government’s report for the period ending September 2001. The Government describes the general training programme to which nationals in Guyana have access and which may be held locally or overseas. It also indicates that it still does not have statistics on the number of employees benefiting from paid educational leave. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee recalls that, in order to enable it to assess fully the effect given to the Convention, it is necessary for it to have available information on its application in practice, including the available statistics on the number of workers in the public and private sectors who are granted paid educational leave, and reports, studies and inquiries on the activities of technical institutions and bodies engaged in the provision of vocational education, training and guidance, such as the Adult Education Association, the Institute of Distance and Continuing Education and the National Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training, in the implementation of a national policy of paid educational leave (Part V of the report form).

2. The Government is also requested to describe the manner in which it fulfils the obligation, as set out Article 6 of the Convention, to ensure that 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.
