Abstract: Examining the development and evolution, weaknesses and shortcomings, as well as future directions of educational collaboration holds significant reference value for promoting high-quality regional synergistic development, particularly for educational collaboration in other similar regions. Facilitated by the synergistic impetus of inter-university mechanisms, governmental mechanisms, and societal mechanisms, the current collaboration has achieved significant outcomes in higher education collaboration, vocational education collaboration, basic education collaboration, and private education collaboration.However, when examining the collaboration model from a macro-educational perspective—particularly through the lens of “holistic education”, Educational Collaboration in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area still exhibits shortcomings across three dimensions: public education collaboration outweighs private education collaboration; “bringing-in” collaboration exceed “going-global” collaboration and bottom-up collaboration dominate over top-down coordination.To advance the high-level development of educational collaboration in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, it is imperative to adopt integrated strategies focusing on refining collaboration objectives, enhancing institutional provisions, deepening top-level design framework, and bolstering underdeveloped areas in private education collaboration.

Key words: the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Regional Collaboration, education, collaborative development
