中老教育合作是老挝国际教育合作的重要组成部分，根植于老挝对自身教育发展的诉求。经过三十多年的发展，合作内容从早期的人员交流拓展到政策沟通、合作办学、联合培养、师资培训等多领域，这成为中老合作的亮点与重点。2023年是“一带一路”倡议提出的第十年，中老教育合作实践是“一带一路”背景下中老两国在教育领域合作的典型缩影。总的来说，囿于两国教育水平的现实差异，目前的合作模式以中国向老挝提供“软”“硬”援助为主。在老挝对援助消化缺乏主体性和中国对外教育援助机制尚不健全的内外影响下，援助呈现表面化、碎片化等特征，建议通过完善顶层设计、转变援助模式等方式，实现中老教育合作向更高质量发展。
China-Laos educational cooperation is an important part of Laos’ international educational cooperation. It is rooted in Laos’ strong demand for the development of its own education. After more than 30 years of development，it has expanded from early personnel exchanges to policy communication，cooperative education，joint training，teacher training and other fields，which becomes the highlight and focus of China-Laos cooperation. 2023 is the tenth year since the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed. The practice of China-Laos educational cooperation is a typical epitome of the achievements，models and shortcomings of China and Laos in the field of educational cooperation under the background of the Belt and Road Initiative. In general，due to the actual differences in the educational levels of the two countries，the main cooperation model has been formed in which China provides “soft” and “hard” assistance to Laos. Under the influence of Laos’ lack of subjectivity in digesting aid and China’s imperfect mechanism for foreign education assistance，the aid presents shortcomings such as superficiality and fragmentation of projects. It is recommended to achieve higher quality development of China-Laos educational cooperation by improving top-level design and changing the aid model.
