During the process of increasing the scale of secondary vocational education,the secondary vocational schools face the situations of lacking resources for running a school,lacking of qualified teachers, unwholesome of the market order of vocational education services and so on, but the economic restructuring and China's Accession to the WTO need the vocational and technical education have higher quality. But schools pay more attention on scale,students recruiting and employment than quantity and teaching act, this leds to the falling of the quality and the departure of educational objectives of vocational education.As an education services organization, the fomation of secondary vocational schools' orgnization is the result of technological advance,political factors,economic developing and charicteristics of the school orgnization. Nowadays, China's secondary vocational and technical education has changed from driven of supply to the marcket,and from selecting to educational popularization. The charicteristic of vocational schools requair schools change from administration to management. And in this situation, secondary vocational schools face the contradiction of cultivating more and better persons with ability and lacking resources for running a school,facing the choice of students' quality and quantity. The crucial point to revolve this condiction is to increase the utilization efficiency and the outputs of quality and quantity of the schools, so as to meet the needs of pluralism benefit main body. But the unwholesome of the serves marcket of vocational education and external mechanism of appraisal and chasing of economic benefit led to value higher on quantity than quality in the research of efficiency and scale. The managers of the schools misunderstand the increasing efficiency as increasing scale. The convergence of efficiency and scale makes secondary vocational and technical schools increase the number of students one-sided and pay little attention to the education quality,this led the secondary vocational and technical education far from the final educational purposes.As an economic man, the allocation of resources of the secondary vocational schools decided on the comparision of belifits brought by quantity and quality. Because of the driven of chasing benefits, schools take more attention on how to increase the scale than how to improve the quality of education, which led to the complex relationship between development of school size and the quality of education. Therefore, government needs to make minimum quality standards to regulate schools. Based on the factors of quantity and quality, school size and the quality and efficiency of education have three possibile states, they are the ideal state, lower ideal state, and higher ideal state, and for the lower ideal state and higher ideal state, there are three possible appropriate types, they are development type,smooth type and restrict type. As for the different type and scale of schools in different situation, government should implement a different type of policy for direction, and the schools itself should also take different development strategies.In the process of scale development, in order to ensure the quality of the secondary vocational and technical education, government needs to reinforce the macroscopic readjustment and control of secondary vocational schools and perfect the environment of the secondary vocational education services marcker; establish and improve the vocational education's information system, so as to contact with the ralated stakeholders; schools need to consider the demands of the market, and set characteristic courses, so as to neet the need of the society for the quality of education,and at the meantime, and adjust the allocation of resources strategy timely to protect the quality of education.
