ASEAN-China cooperation on education made good progress. The Eight China-ASEAN Education Cooperation Week was held August 2015 in Guiyang, Guizhou Province, China. With the theme of learning for each other for the wellbeing of the future, the event provided the opportunity for the participants to strengthen exchanges and cooperation in scientific research as well as provided a platform for universities, colleges and schools to establish long-term partnership.

On youth cooperation, programmes and activities to strengthen youth exchanges and cooperation between ASEAN and China continues to be held regularly. These include China-ASEAN Youth Camp, GMS Youth Friendship Programme and the ASEAN Young Leaders Training Program. The activities aim to promote the mutual trust and understanding between the Chinese and ASEAN young people and contribute to the regional economic development and social cooperation.

ASEAN and China have continued to organise exchange visits for media personnel. On 16-18 September 2015, Thailand hosted the Visit of Broadcasting Personnel to Thailand with the funding under the ASEAN-China Cooperation Fund. The visit had helped the participant to broaden their perspective of ASEAN and China broadcasting personnel and enhance their media capability by learning new knowledge and practices, and by sharing their skills and experiences among ASEAN and China media practitioners through the visit.
