【Purpose/significance】 To clarify the objectives, methods, paths and countermeasures of basic education data governance,

and improve the level of basic data governance in education.【Method/process】 This paper analyzes the source, form and characteris⁃tics of basic education data under the background of intelligent age, as well as the goals and methods of basic education data gover⁃nance on the macroscopical, middle and microscopical levels, studies the governance paths and countermeasures of basic education data at different levels.【Result/conclusion】 Macroscopical basic education data governance should take the formulation of standards and norms as the main method; the governance of basic education data on the middle tier should effectively supervise the whole pro⁃cess of data acquisition, processing and use; microscopical basic education data governance uses data technical means, such as meta⁃data, data model, data cleaning, security governance to carry out specific problems pertinently; synergically improve efficiency and jointly promote the continuous improvement of data governance in education.【Innovation/limitation】 The governance of basic educa⁃tion data is divided into macroscopical，middle and microscopical levels, the objectives, methods, paths and countermeasure of basic educational data governance at each level are analyzed and demonstrated respectively, and a practical concrete scheme of basic data governance is put forward. Practical analysis focuses on the macroscopical level, and there are insufficiencies in the middle level and microscopical level analysis.
