Miljø- og utviklingsminister Erik Solheim undertegner i dag en avtale med ILOs generaldirektør Juan Somavia om 100 millioner kroner i støtte over to år til den internasjonale arbeidsorganisasjonens arbeid for anstendige arbeidsvilkår.
The agreement was signed in connection with the conference “Decent Work – A Key to Social Justice for a Fair Globalisation” in Oslo, where employment creation and promotion of labour rights and standards are on the agenda.
Avtalen undertegnes i anledning konferansen ”Decent Work – A Key to Social Justice for a Fair Globalisation” i Oslo, hvor økt sysselsetting og bedre beskyttelse av arbeidstakernes rettigheter i en global økonomi står på dagsordenen.
“All people want a decent job, where their rights are respected and where they can earn enough to support themselves and their families.
– Alle mennesker ønsker seg en anstendig jobb, hvor deres rettigheter respekteres og de kan skaffe seg inntekt til å forsørge seg og sin familie.
This is not only important for the individual, it is also good international development policy,” said Minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim.
Dette er ikke bare viktig for den enkelte, det er god utviklingspolitikk, sier miljø- og utviklingsminister Solheim.
NOK 100 million has been allocated for the period 2008-2009.
Støtten gis i perioden 2008-2009.
“The International Labour Organisation is important both as a political arena and as a partner in efforts to promote a fair globalisation,” said Mr Solheim.
– ILO er viktig både som politisk arena og alliert aktør i kampen for en mer rettferdig globalisering, sier Solheim.
The money will also be used to promote the right to organise and to bargain collectively, and to establish labour inspection mechanisms in developing countries,” said Mr Solheim.
Støtten til ILO vil også gå til å blant annet fremme organisasjonsfrihet og kollektiv fohandlingsrett, og til å etablere arbeidstilsyn i utviklingsland, sier Solheim.

IMF and ILO on the outlook for employment in the wake of the global financial crisis

Through these reforms important educational issues were addressed, and many of the proposals and measures in the reforms function well and should not be changed.
Gjennom reformene fant viktige utdanningspørsmål sin løsning, og mange av reformenes forslag og tiltak fungerer godt og bør ikke endres.
In other areas results do not live up to expectations.
På andre områder ser en at resultatene ikke oppfyller forventningene.
Research and evaluations have shown that there is still a considerable amount of potential for learning and competence building.
Forskning og evalueringer har vist at det fremdeles er et betydelig potensial for læring og kompetansebygging.
Reports on learning results imply that not all pupils attain their full possibilities and talents.
Rapporter om læringsresultater tyder på at ikke alle får realisert sine evner og anlegg.
Some groups of pupils seem to achieve less than others do.
Noen elevgrupper synes å komme dårligere ut enn andre.
It has also become apparent that special education is not relevant enough.
Det har også vist seg at spesialundervisningen ikke treffer godt nok.
This means that a closer study of the work done in classrooms and workshops must amongst other things answer the following questions:
Det betyr at et nærmere studium av arbeidet i klasserom og verksteder bl.a må gi svar på:
whether the education is adapted to the individual pupils, giving them challenges and the wish to learn
om opplæringen er tilpasset den enkelte og gir utfordringer og lærelyst
