The Relationship Between the Origin of Higher Education and Social Development - A Study of Higher Education in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

Abstract

From the time when human beings entered the civilized society, fierce competition took place among people, between countries, in the political field, economic field, cultural field, population field and so on. No matter what form appeared, these competitions were realized based on higher education. As the leader of primary education, secondary education and vocational education, higher education plays the role of "fuel", "power" and "accelerator" in the modernization of any country. Higher education institutions have trained a large number of highly educated and high-quality talents, and these highly educated talents have become pioneers and leaders in the economic development of various countries and regions. At the same time, higher education promotes the construction of high-quality scientific research institutions, and researchers quickly transform scientific research achievements and effective patents into products and enter the market, thus promoting the global economic development. In this paper, the importance of higher education and its historical origin, which first appeared in the world, in the development of human society is thoroughly demonstrated, so as to prove the practical significance that the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in China must quickly form a higher education cluster.
