In local education governance, the governance needs of the judiciary, the community and the public are different, so diversified governance is needed to meet the requirements of local governance. At present, there are some problems in education governance, such as poor departmental assistance, unclear guidance direction, and non-standard governance process. In order to improve the level of education governance, it is necessary to make full use of cultural resources to achieve social pluralistic governance, and put forward the following assumptions, including: 1) whether the government guides the judiciary and the community and promotes the assistance of the department to achieve the adaptive development of diversified resources; 2) Judicial institutions should build an adaptive cultural legal guarantee system and improve the laws and regulations on education governance with the requirements of cultural resource governance; 3) Whether the supervision of governance policies by the community, promote the improvement of the governance environment. the clear responsibilities of the government and the improvement of the law of the judiciary are the main factors to promote the improvement of governance effect. The community and the public have a suggestive effect of governance policies. The judiciary plays an important role as a safeguard, and temporary and long-term governance laws are needed to safeguard the interests of communities and the public. Therefore, the government should clarify its responsibilities, guide the judiciary, and improve the guarantee laws for education governance. The community provide prompt information, and form a diversified governance system.
