Community education in the new era faces problems such as insufficient resources, weak faculty, single content and imperfect management mechanism, which restricts its role in improving the quality of residents and promoting social harmony. In order to solve these problems, this paper adopts an empirical research method that combines questionnaire surveys, interviews and case analysis. Through questionnaire surveys, feedback from residents and educators in different communities is collected, and in-depth analysis is conducted on some community education cases. The study found that although community education has achieved initial results in improving cultural quality, legal awareness and health levels, 85% of the participants believed that through community education, they have made significant progress in skills and knowledge. For example, residents' computer skills have improved by 80%. However, they still face bottleneck problems such as teacher shortage, single educational content and lack of educational resources. Based on the above problems, this paper proposes four strategies to improve the effectiveness of community education: strengthening teacher development, enriching educational content, improving management mechanisms and optimizing the educational environment. These measures are aimed at promoting the development of community education and supporting the overall progress of society.
