monkey799 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I heard it can be used for "self-study". Has anyone tried to take 5 days of educational leave at once - which can add up to 1 week of vacation!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Shouldn't be any different from taking vacation, as long as you get it approved through the regular channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JewelLeigh Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Yes, I took the whole week at once without problem. During that week I will be going to a 2-day course and will spend the remainder of the time working on a research project. I have a colleague who took the week off to go relax on a beach while reading books that I am sure were medically related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCTulip Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 According to PAIRO agreement, educational leave can be used for "self-study" purposes. Good luck on your requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placenta Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 And do we simply state the purpose of leave as "self-study" for it to be approved, or is there a more "politically" correct terminology to be used (knowledge enhancement for instance)?

ploughboy Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Agreed, you do not need to explain what you are doing with that time (though once, to make the program secretary laugh, I did submit an educational leave request with the stated purpose of "studying the effect of ethanol on human hepatocytes in tropical latitudes").
