Beginning in 1969 the government took a more active approach to the promotion of vocational education, encouraging an expansion in the number of schools and increasing the ratio of senior high school to vocational high school students over a number of years, from 6: 4 to 3: 7. This was seen as the best way to promote industrial development at the time.
五十八年起，政府更積極發展職業教育，鼓勵增設職校，有計畫地逐年調整高中與高職的人數比例，由六比四逐漸調整到三比七，高職比重大增，以利當時的產業發展。
