Guidance refers to leading a person to self-actualization or helping
him to develop his full potential. This objective of self-actualization is
difficult to be attained if a student is unaware of, or unrealistic about his
potential. Bhatnagar & Gupta (1999) define guidance as a process of
helping the individual find solutions to his own problems and accept them as
his own”. They further say that guidance is an integral part of education; a continuous service; both generalized and specialized service, for the “whole”
child and is not confined only to some specific aspects of his personality.
