Convenio sobre la licencia pagada de estudios, 1974 (núm. 140) - República Unida de Tanzanía (Ratificación : 1983)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Articles 2–5 of the Convention. Granting of paid educational leave. The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its brief report that apprenticeships have been introduced through the National Employment Policy, in collaboration with stakeholders, with the objective of reducing skills gaps. It also notes the Government’s indication that the policy consists of a dual system emphasizing training at workplaces in addition to traditional institution-based learning. The Committee will address the information provided in its comments to the Government under the Human Resources Development Convention, 1975 (No. 142), as the apprenticeship programme does not constitute paid educational leave within the meaning of Convention No. 140. Noting that the Government has not provided information in response to its previous comments, the Committee reiterates its request that the Government provide information on the manner in which measures taken under the National Employment Policy contribute to the achievement of the objectives set out in Article 3 of the Convention, and the manner in which these are coordinated with the general policies on employment, education and training, and hours of work enumerated in Article 4. It also once again invites the Government to provide any reports, studies, surveys or statistical data enabling the Committee to assess the extent to which the Convention is applied in practice (Part V of the report form).

Article 6 of the Convention. Participation of the social partners and other stakeholders. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that the public authorities, the social partners 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.
