政府遷臺後，對戰後臺灣地區而言，是百廢待舉，無論是政治上或是經濟上，都力求社會安定與恢復各項生產力。在教育上，也不例外，其一是提高國民教育的普及，以增進農工職業教育，其二則是加速培植高級專業人才與各階段的師資。故本研究以政府遷臺後高等教育擴展的內涵與特徵為範圍，採用文獻分析、文件分析等方法，目的以瞭解1950年代高等教育擴充的情形與影響及評述，藉以探討此期高等教育政策的性質與意義，及進一步研究的參考。故本研究有幾點心得與之分享：
1、重視高等教育的發展，以培養社會人力資源。
2、發揚民族精神，提高國民道德。
3、訓練公民自治及四權的行使。
4、普及科技智能，提升國防常識。

As far as the R.O.C. government was concerned, the postwar Taiwan had many things waiting to be done, for instance both its politics and economy were striving for stability and production. What education asked for was to firstly increase the availability of national education as well as expand the agricultural and industrial vocational education, secondly cultivate advanced professionals and teachers qualified for different phases. In light of that, this study probed into both the characteristics and the content regarding the development of Taiwan’s higher education after the R.O.C. government moved to Taiwan. This study chose to analyze previous literature and documents in order to understand how the higher education was expanded in 1950s and its influences. The final part of this study is the commentary serving as a witness of how significant the higher education policies then could be, and also as references for future studies. The experiences of this study were shared as following:
1. To the development of higher education especially, to match up with the social demand on manpower.
2. To enhance national spirit and morality.
3. To train citizens to be self-governes and to exercise the four rights.
4. To universalize science ,technology and knowledge on national defnse.
