What I find missing in school education is guidance and counseling children need in their growing age. This could not be left to the Counselor even if we could have him. This is to be done be each teacher in each school for each student. In their B.Ed and M.Ed. studies trainees should be given due orientation of it both in theory and practice. In-service teachers could attend refresher courses. We should principals. This book could serve the purpose. I have the feeling with these steps taken effectively we could have quality education in schools. I am sure the students of Diploma and Degree courses in Guidance and Counselling will find this as a basic book to be studied. Their self-study of it will make them clear about guidance in schools.
