Meanwhile, the internet has broughtunprecedented impact on the implementation of the School of ideological and politicaleducation management. Vocational schools, as a particular kind of institution, accommodate astudent population that is different from those from other generic schools. Given the purposeto train skilled talents and the students in vocational schools are always weak in basicknowledge, deficit in organization and discipline, have poor self-control, and are vulnerable tothe unhealthy impact. In addition, since the students in vocational schools are at a critical ageof fostering the view of the world, life and value, how to conduct ideological and politicaleducation management in the age of internet is particularly important. Taking Five vocationalschools in Yantai city as an example, I first reviewed the literature to summarize problemsthat vocational school ideological and political education management are facing problems inthe context of internet. I then used questionnaire survey and interviews and other researchmethods, to investigate the problems.

Results showed following problems in the practice ofideology and politics education management: organizational structure, managementphilosophy needs to be improved; ideological and political level of the management teamshould be increased; lack of innovation in management implementation process; deficit ineffective evaluation and monitoring mechanisms.Based on the comprehensive analysis, we proposed the following suggestions.
