Abstract

Against the background that regional coordinated development has become a global trend, the coordinated development of higher education in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) is a key support for enhancing regional innovation vitality, optimizing talent reserves, and strengthening core competitiveness. Due to practical factors such as institutional differences and diverse governance subjects among Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, the coordinated development of higher education faces many governance challenges. This paper explores the governance path for the coordinated development of higher education in the GBA from the dimensions of governance subject coordination, institutional connection, resource integration, and collaborative mechanism construction, aiming to provide theoretical guidance for breaking the bottlenecks in regional higher education coordinated development and realizing the efficient linkage of high-quality educational resources.
