Yet Taiwan's economy is growing increasingly knowledge-based, and that 60: 40 ratio no longer suits the needs of society. Since some vocational schools have already been turned into academic high schools, the ratio is now closer to 55: 45, and this shift will continue.
隨著社會演進，台灣已逐漸朝向知識經濟型態，高職太過狹隘的職業規劃已不符社會需求，近年來高職逐步轉型後，高中職人數比例也拉近到四．五比五．五，以後勢必仍將朝「高職高中化」的方向調整。
