Secondary vocational education occupies an important position in China's vocational education, which plays a fundamental role in improving the quality of the people and building a harmonious society. A very large number of workers with intermediate professional skills for nearly all kinds of vocations have being trained in the vocational senior schools all around our country.Mianyang, which is called The City Of High Technology, is the second largest city in Sichuan province. In the process of the construction in Mianyang City, a lot of high skilled workers are needed. And in order to satisfy this need, the development of the vocational senior schools must be increased. In the management of the development of vocational education, the government plays a leading role. At present, the Mianyang government attaches great importance to the development of vocational education, and also carried out a lot of practice. To encourage all the schools in the city to take party in the election of "National-Level Vocational Senior School" is an important measure to improve the quality, attraction, as well as the influence of Mianyang's vocational education. Whether or not this project can be completed with high quality on time according to the requirements of the central government depends largely on the effect of the local government's supervision work.The writer of this essay tries to do a brief summary of three main pieces of useful and beneficial experience of the local government in Mianyang. The first one is to make sure the supervision work is correct by the three steps--define the responsibility clearly, enhance the importance role of the local government and motivate the schools. The second is to pay more attention to the process of the supervision work, and make sure the supervision work is effective by creating new methods, improving the process and so on. The third one is to use the resources more suitably by training the organizations, offering more money and building the platforms. The basis of the writers'opinions mainly includes these two observations--the development of the vocational education in Mianyang and the supervision work of the local government, as well as a study of the theory both home and abroad. Especially, The project management theory, the new public management theory and public property management theory are used in the writing of this essay.This essay offers more theories to the supervision work of the local government, also, it offers some experience for the development of the vocational education in other western cities.
