To provide a focus for the promotion of civic education outside of schools, the government decided to set up a new committee involving both unofficials and represent- atives from various government departments. The Committee on the Promotion of Civic Education, established in May 1986, is aimed at offering advice to the government and community organisations on the objectives and scope of civic education and promoting civic education by stimulating initiatives from the community at large.
As part of its efforts to encourage active participation from the community, the committee provided financial assistance to community organisations for implementing broad-based civic education projects.
