It is evident that Taiwan-the Republic of China still at present in the stage of "Agricultural Society" is undergoing a rapid change toward industrialization. As a country experiencing a rapid transformation, it is confronted with the problem of a rapidly growing population and with that of the population mobility from rural to urban areas. Further, Taiwan is now faced with competing in the foreign markets to maintain its economic vitality. Therefore, in vocational education, an emphasis should be placed on the training of technical personnel for agriculture, industry, fishing and foresting. It is also necessary to induce people into such occupations and industry as are strategically important to the country's economic development. Actually, however, human resources are underutilized at present. Effective incentives are lacking for bridging both short-term and long-term gaps between supply and demand in all the critical manpower areas. Such situations reflect the school setting of present-day education. The purpose of this paper is to analize some problems related to the actual goals of students which are quite divergent from national requirements. For one thing, students tend to view education as an end in itelf. There is almost universal respect and desire for schooling, the general concern of the students seems to be to attain the highest academic degree possible, regardless of whether the school education may fit the overall development of the country, or character development of the individual. The influence of so-called "formanism" thus tends to persist. The attainment of a high level academic schooling is viewed primarily as a status symbol not only for the student but also for his family and also as a key to the most privileged occupations. This is the reason why so-called "promotionism" still prevails, with teachers and students gearing their classroom work to the entrance exminination to the next level of schooling. All such problems as are related to the actual goals of students, teaching methods, study habits of students and some of its harmful effects (emphasis on just the memorizing ability of students) are atributable to the Chinese historic and traditional examination system that tends to deviate education from economic and social development.
