Facing the challenges of weak foundation, disorganized team and ineffective ideological and political education, this paper designs the path of “three-whole-parenting” ideological and political education in higher vocational colleges and universities for the whole staff in the whole process to enhance the effectiveness of ideological and political education. The CIPP model was introduced to construct the index system for evaluating the satisfaction of the quality of civic and political education, and the entropy weight method was used to assign the indexes. Taking S higher vocational colleges and universities as an example, we evaluated the students’ satisfaction based on the cloud model, and carried out the cluster analysis of the students’ satisfaction. The results of the instance analysis show that students’ satisfaction with the quality of Civic and Political Education in S higher vocational colleges and universities is most concentrated in the cloud drop at 7.380, and its affiliation degree is also the highest, which is located between the very satisfied and the more satisfied, and is biased towards the more satisfied. At the same time, the sample students can be clustered into three categories according to their satisfaction with the quality of civic and political education: independent or exclusionary – low satisfaction group, highly compatible – high satisfaction group, and passive compliance – medium satisfaction group, accounting for 16.39%, 42.14%, and 41.47%, respectively, which can be used as the basis for the design of the “three-whole” civic and political education of higher vocational colleges and universities according to the characteristics of the three types of students. The path of ideological education designed for higher vocational colleges and universities can be further improved according to the characteristics of the three types of student groups.
