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.
