Over the years, the Government has been promoting the Basic Law through civic education, school education and training for civil servants. At the same time, a large number of community-based organisations and individuals have also been actively involved in promoting the Basic Law. In order to step up the promotional efforts further, the Government established in January 1998 the Basic Law Promotion Steering Committee ("BLPSC") comprising both official and non-official members. Under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary for Administration, BLPSC provides advice and steer on the overall strategy and key aspects for promoting the Basic Law, and monitors, evaluates and reviews promotional programmes undertaken by government departments and non-governmental organisations. Moreover, the 2022 Policy Address has also announced that BLPSC will be renamed as the Constitution and Basic Law Promotion Steering Committee ("CBLPSC") with immediate effect, so as to underline the utmost importance the Government attaches to the promotion of the Constitution and our determination to take forward the work.
