Our government and educational administrative departments mainly depend on the" employment rate" to assess the employment situation of various types of universities and colleges for years. However, there have disadvantages of the "employment rate" based evaluation, because it would lead colleges focus on employment "quantitative", and would be difficult to achieve the scientific development of higher education. Based on the analysis of the function of higher education and the meaning employment quality, this article argue that the government should focus on the comprehensive assessment of employment quality, adjust the process of regulating institutions of higher education and promote the construction and development of the concept of higher education.
