There are many complaints and dissatisfaction in the secretary science class in China high schools. In order to solve the problems, some teachers suggested to invite the experienced secretaries to teaching for some classes or prolong the practical time of this course. However, those measures cannot solve the problems thoroughly. The aim of this study was to investigate the teaching content of secretary science course. The research is based on the analysis of conflict between the secretary science teaching content and the practical need of secretary position. The findings showed that most of the teaching contents in secretary science course are unsuitable for the secretary position, which is more complicated than the common teaching materials describe. However, many other courses, especially Chinese language and literature courses in secretary science major, meet the need of secretary practical works. The secretary science major is set up in Chinese language and literature department in most of schools which has secretary science major. That makes up the shortcomings of the secretary science course, which is a compulsory course in secretary science major. The study implies the conflicts between the teaching contents and the practical need of secretary position are caused by the complicated social context.
