The Committee notes the provisions of section 245 of the Labour Act, which from now on will require enterprises employing more than 200 workers to finance study grants. Referring to its 1991 General Survey on Human Resources Development (paragraph 344), the Committee recalls that such grants may be assimilated to paid educational leave within the meaning of Article 1 of the Convention when the beneficiaries are the workers themselves. The Committee also notes that, by virtue of regulation 299 of the Labour Act Regulations, these grants apply only to workers under 30 years of age. It asks the Government to indicate in its next report whether measures have been taken or are envisaged, as part of the policy to promote the granting of paid educational leave provided for by Articles 2 and 6 of the Convention, to extend the application of these study grants to workers over the age of 30.

The Committee also notes the stipulations in the 1993-94 CANTV collective agreement, providing for the granting of paid leave for examinations and unpaid leave for training. It would be grateful if the Government would continue to supply information on collective agreements establishing the granting of paid educational leave, and progress made in this respect.
