The symposium at the 36th. annual conference took place under the title of "Prospects of Secondary Vocational Education" last year. The aim of the symposium was to discuss the fact from different angles that the comprehensive courses influence seriously upon the vocational courses in high school. Because of limited time, however, we could not discuss enough. This paper attempts to complement the symposium above. (1) History on the reform of Secondary Vocational Education during the past 30 years is looked back in this section. Namely, diversification of vocational education in 1960's, course correction of vocational education in 1970's, change of direction suited to the industrial reorganization in 1980's, and the reduction of vocational education in 1990's. (2) Problems and counterplans at the entrance to vocational high school are described in this section. First, it goes without saying that vocational guidance has to be improved in junior high school level. The followings are by all means desirable: to advertise for students without dividing courses at the time of entrance examination, to adopt special admission system for the students who desire to go to vocational high school, and to set up synthetic course (e.g. industrial course): (3) It is described that educational goal of Secondary Vocational Education has to be revised in this section. There were a large number of employees fresh from junior high school 30 years ago. Therefore, fostering "middle class specialist" was the goal of Secondary Vocational Education. However, the employees fresh from junior high school have suddenly decreased nowadays, so the educational goal has to be changed from the present condition. (4) The future pass after finishing vocational high school will be described in this section. It is hoped that required conditions have to lessen (c.g. to organize special admission system), and it is desirable that job placement through proper advice will be functioned well for the students who want to get a job. (5) It is assumed that vocational courses will be decreasing because of promotion of comprehensive course, so its counterplans wil be described in this section. First, vocational courses in high school should be 4 years if necessary. Second, 2 years extension courses have to be set up much more in order to enrich vocational education of postsecondary level. It is hoped that this extension course is reorganized in the future just like Community College in the U.S.A. And, these educational institution will be utilized as "lifelong learning center" for adult workers.
