The integration of educational resources is a vital component for the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period.

There are significant differences in the quality of basic education within the region; counties in Hebei province have inadequate educational resources and underdeveloped infrastructure. Therefore, Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei should work together to reduce the disparities.

One way is by making Xiong'an New Area in Hebei a hub for the distribution of high-quality educational resources, and setting up a system to lend targeted support to schools in these counties.

On the one hand, high-quality primary and secondary schools in Beijing and Tianjin should form alliances that cover their counterparts in Hebei. Schools in the same alliance should adopt unified curricula and consistent teacher evaluation standards.

Through online teaching and teacher rotations, schools in Beijing and Tianjin can share their educational resources with those in Hebei.

On the other hand, a talent-exchange mechanism should be established, and specific requirements for the rotation of teachers should be set up. Teachers working in Beijing and Tianjin who are sent, on rotation, to schools in Hebei should be granted better salary and promotion opportunities. In the meantime, schools in Beijing and Tianjin should take in teachers from schools in Hebei and provide them on-the-job training.

Efforts are also needed to foster a sense of shared development among the people, especially the youth of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

The three places should work together to set up research bases where primary and secondary school students can study how the environment of Baiyangdian Lake — a major wetland in northern China — is being treated, and the planning and construction of Xiong'an.

The authorities should encourage universities to build cultural exchange platforms, where college students can come together and discuss history, culture and green development.

These measures will help strengthen understanding among young people about the coordinated development of the three places. The coordination of higher education and scientific research is central to this coordinated development.

Beijing should focus on basic research and frontier technologies. It should also encourage its top universities to relocate some educational and research resources to Xiong'an.

Tianjin should leverage its advantages in vocational education. Joint efforts are needed to build a training base which provides customized training programs to meet the needs of industries in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

As universities in Beijing and other cities are setting up branches and research institutes in Xiong'an, Xiong'an is becoming a hub of higher education and scientific research for Hebei.

Hebei needs to make use of this hub, and establish a platform to facilitate collaboration between local traditional industries and the emerging industries in Beijing and Tianjin.

It is crucial for the universities and research institutes relocated to Xiong'an to align their focus with the new area's needs, including environmental protection and smart technologies. For example, Hebei University, which is located near Xiong'an, has established Xiong'an New Area research institute to participate in the restoration of the Baiyangdian wetland.

Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei should innovate the way they coordinate their scientific and technological research efforts, and remove the barriers to resource flow.

They should set up a coordinated innovation alliance to bring together technology transfer markets and intellectual property service providers, and create and share a research talent pool, among others.

A livable and beautiful environment is crucial for attracting such talents. In this regard, thanks to wetland restoration efforts, the water quality of Baiyangdian Lake has stably reached Grade III in China's five-tier water quality system. The local biodiversity, too, has improved significantly.

During the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, Xiong'an could continue to leverage the strengths of universities to advance wetland restoration and the cultivation of native plants.

By improving the local education system, Xiong'an will be able to better address the schooling needs of the children of the relocated talents, further enhancing its attractiveness.

The gathering of talents will in turn inject vitality into research, innovation and industrial upgrading, optimizing the allocation and integration of resources in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
