text: United Nations materials. This work was completed at the end of June 1989. 23. A Committee on the Promotion of Civic Education was set up in May 1986 to promote awareness of the structure of government and constitutional matters in Hong Kong, and to enhance the public's concern with and involvement in community affairs. The Committee's work is aimed, inter alia, at enabling the public to understand and uphold civic rights and responsibilities as well as the concept of freedom, democracy, the rule of law and social justice. The Administration plans to co-operate with the Committee on a publicity programme, including distribution of publicity materials on the two Covenants as well as seminars and exhibitions. 24. A Committee on Promoting Legal Awareness has also been formed by the Law Society together with representatives of the Bar Association and other lawyers. The Hong Kong Administration will be making suggestions to the Committee on ways to raise the public's awareness of their civil rights and the contents of the Covenants. 25. In this context, it is noted that some concern has been expressed about the effect of Education Regulation 92 which relates to the syllabus and timetable of schools and the use of documents by schools. The regulation provides that no instruction may be given by any school except in accordance with a syllabus approved by the Director of Education. This provision does not in fact restrict the teaching of civic education in schools, nor prevent discussion in schools of the two International Covenants. Nevertheless, action is in hand to amend this and other education regulations, in order to clear up the misapprehension that they could inhibit civic education. This exercise is expected to be completed within the next few months. 26. The Hong Kong Administration in consultation with the British Government 
analysis: The text appears to be discussing initiatives and efforts to promote civic education, awareness of constitutional matters, and legal rights in Hong Kong.
