Chinese higher education has changed tremendously since the reformation of the People's Republic of China. Policy directions for higher education, as raised in the national policy paper Outline of the Plan for the Reform and Development of the Pearl River Delta (2008-2020), are encouraging Hong Kong to develop its education industry in order to become a regional education hub. This article discusses the growth and innovation in higher education in the Pearl River Delta by analysing the development of China and the Delta, as well as by elaborating the experiences of the United International College in creating an innovative education model and integrating education in the Hong Kong and Guangdong regions.
