從日治時代到民國57年是臺灣農業發展最輝煌時代，也是農業職業教育發展很重要的時期。日治時代開始臺灣農業教育，並逐漸納入正規教育中，臺灣光復後，農業職業教育依據中華民國政府職業教育接收政策而改變。到了民國40、50年代，因四年經濟建設計畫、美援的加入，因此農業職業教育又進入另一階段。故本文以改制為省立前的關西高農的發展，來瞭解臺灣農業職業教育的演變。 日治時期，關西農業補習學校因教育政策及地方產業特色而設立。而關西高農從「關西農業補習學校」、「新竹縣立關西農業初級職業學校」、「新竹縣立關西農業職業學校」到「新竹縣立關西高級農業職業學校」」，從初等農業教育演變成中等農業教育。臺灣光復後，因新政權接收、四年經濟建設計劃、美援加入等不同的時代背景與教育政策，影響關西高農學制、課程、科系等改變。除此，也影響關西高農在學生來源、農校土地運用、「農民講習會」與「四健會」活動推廣等也隨之發展不同，因此使關西高農與地區形成複雜的關係。 關西高農畢業人數也隨時代、教育政策的不同而有所改變，而畢業後的傑出校友，只少數服務於關西地區，因此未必能夠成為關西地區的社會領導階層，但對新竹縣各區域卻有一定影響，顯示關西高農已從日治時期從「關西地區」的農校，走向「新竹縣」的農校。 It was that the agriculture of Taiwan developed the most magnificen era during Japanese colonial period to the 57th year of the Republic of China.It is a very important period of development of agriculture vocational education, too.
