Abstract The separation of supervision, enforcement and evaluation is the inevitable requirement of accelerating modernization of the educational governance system and governance capacity. The development of thirdparty assessment is an important orientation of higher education governance modernization and a logical requirement of ensuring social justice under the pattern of interest differentiation. It is also an inevitable way for higher education assessment to become specialized. The contradiction between the governmentoriented governance logic and the role of the server, the resource dependence of higher education assessment on the government, and the lack of cultural identity and mechanism of thirdparty assessment are the main difficulties in thirdparty assessment development. We should consider the establishment of the system environment at the macro level, the optimization of the condition guarantee at the middle level and the specific system arrangement at the micro level, follow the logic of the whole system reform of the country, school and social organization, and shape the institutional framework of the thirdparty assessment of higher education from top to bottom. The state should speed up the legalization process of the thirdparty assessment of higher education, and clarify relevant subjects′ legal responsibilities of higher education assessment. The government should speed up the transformation of its functions to ensure that the power is "affordable", "sustainable" and "well used". Colleges and universities should promote internal governance reform, actively introduce thirdparty evaluation and give full play to its functions. Thirdparty evaluation institutions should strengthen their own capacity building and enhance the effectiveness of thirdparty evaluation in higher education.
