The Ministry of Education and the Guangdong provincial government recently issued a plan for advancing higher education cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, aiming at building the area into the home of a number of the world's leading universities by 2035.
The plan also calls for rich resources, advanced and flexible mechanisms and the efficient flow of resources in higher education, and aims at making the area known for innovative talent and research by that year.
It aims to make the bay area a pilot area for deepening reform in the higher education sector and an important hub for education serving international cooperation through the Belt and Road Initiative.
