However, the present situation of higher vocational students' humane quality is not satisfactory and desires humane quality-oriented education. This paper, based on questionaire and interviews on some higher vocational students in Henan province, shows that some students are not aware of the importance of humane quality-oriented education, lack humanism knowledge and skills, their core career capacity needs to be improved, and their morality and manners should be improved. The questionaire and interviews also reveal that humanistic curriculum and the channels of the humane quality-oriented education require innovation.Higher vocational education, being vocational and technical, aims at cultivating professional talents with high technology, good practical abilities and professional ethics to work in the fields of manufacturing, management and service. Higher vocational education targeted on meeting the social needs requests higher vocational students to have strong learning ability, communication ability, problem-solving ability and innovative ability. Owning such core career capacity would help students to adapt themselves to the changeable industrial construction and employment situation.Taking into consideration of the importance of humane quality-oriented education, the survey and the analysis of higher vocational education, this paper discusses the character of higher vocational humane quality-oriented education.
