Implications of the Philippine Community-Based Early Learning Model for the Construction of a 15-Minute Education Circle in Shanghai: An International Comparative Perspective Based on Community Empowerment

The Philippines' community-driven early learning model has effectively compensated for the lack of government resources, and its Neighborhood Learning Centres and Parents as Teachers strategies have significantly increased the coverage of early education (Save the Children, Philippines, 2021). Philippines, 2021). This study uses case studies and policy comparisons to analyze the three mechanisms of community resource integration, family capacity building and multi-actor collaboration in the Philippines. In view of the uneven distribution of resources, weak community participation, and lack of service precision in the construction of the 15-minute education circle in Shanghai (Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, 2022), the study proposes to build a three-dimensional empowerment system of "space-capacity-technology": activating unused space through the community early childhood education post, cultivating independent education capacity through parent empowerment programmes, and using digital platforms to achieve precise resource scheduling. The study provides a theoretical framework and practical path for the innovation of inclusive early childhood education service provision in megacities.
