Vocational education is incorporated into the national development strategy. In the process of economic structure adjustment and industrial upgrade, secondary vocational school takes the responsibility of training the workers who are highly skilled, capable and qualified. Vocational school principals have to face the severe challenges, such as how to adapt to the needs of the national development strategy, how to reform and innovate, how to change the mode of talent training, how to improve education quality, how to promote social service ability, how to improve students' survival and development ability and how to make people satisfied with vocational education.Secondary vocational education and social economy are closely linked. The personnel training and social economic development have a mutual influence.
