Abstract
Description
Information service is a vital component of guidance programme in schools. It
provides students not only with basic knowledge about themselves but also
knowledge in the areas of education, occupation and personal-social issues and
decision making. Information is also vital during the counselling interview as
the individual is assisted to understand himself/herself better. Formal guidance
programme is being co-ordinated in Botswana Schools by the Guidance and
Counselling Unit in the Department of Curriculum Development and Evaluation
in the Ministry of Education. The Unit serves as the source of information
in guidance and counselling for schools in Botswana and provides material in
guidance and counselling. The University of Botswana also provides training in
Counsellor Education for practitioners who offer guidance services in schools.
