Abstract
The "Belt and Road" initiative has significantly bolstered educational ties between China and nations along its path, including the Philippines. This paper examines the collaborative trajectory in educational management under this initiative, highlighting the pivotal role of the Philippines in Southeast Asia. It underscores the mutual benefits in resource sharing, talent development, and research collaboration between China and the Philippines. The paper mainly used literature review and case studies method to provide a deep understanding of the current state of China-Philippines educational cooperation. It advocates for enhanced policy dialogue and a robust cooperation framework to elevate educational management standards. It also identifies challenges like cultural and linguistic disparities, and educational inequality, proposing solutions such as cultural and language exchange programs, resource optimization, and a more integrated cooperation mechanism to foster educational advancement.
