Educational guidance is a process of helping students to achieve the self-understanding and self-direction necessary to informed choices and move toward personal goals. Guidance, a uniquely American educational innovation ,focuses onthe complete development of individual students through a series of services designed to maximize school learning , stimulate career development, and respong to the personal and socaial concerns that inhibit individual growth. Although guidance activities are usually associated with educational professionals known as counselors, educational guidance is actually a cooperative enterprise involving the participation of teachers, administrators, other educational specialists and parents.
Whether a student will succeed at a particular course of study or not, it only depends on the student. It is highly recommended that a student must be free from any outside influence. The educational institution should play a more constructive role in a student's decision by appreciating his decision and guiding him forward. The educational institution should always try not to act as dictators, and influence such decisions, justifying by their experience as past experience of one particular student cannot be used as a general truth for every future decision.
