Personal guidance at this stage aims at helping the children to get

along with others and to develop certain social qualities. At this stage
opportunities or facilities are given to pupils for their self expression.
Personal guidance at this stage deals with the problems related to
health, feeling of insecurity, social acceptance, discipline and leisure
time pursuits.

2. At the Secondary Stage:

Personal guidance is organised, at this stage for the students because

in the mid-point of this level of education the pupils reach at the stage
of adolescence or adolescence period. As at the secondary school level
the students are at the adolescence stage and they have more internal
personal problems. There is more necessity of such type of guidance at
this stage. During adolescence period due to peculiar, physical,
intellectual, emotional and social developments children undergo
marked changes in their attitude and behaviour.

They have a number of needs, the fulfillment of which poses

problems. They have many doubts and confusions. Adjustment
becomes a problem to them. This is a period of high order of
emotionality. At this period the children are more self-conscious. They
need recognition and approval. Personal guidance at this stage is
concerned mostly with problems of personal and social adjustment.

If the adolescents are not properly guided they will become

maladjusted. Adolescence is the most important period of one’s life
and at this stage the child is to be properly and cautiously guided.
Besides the children should be trained to know their potentialities and
limitations and to seek compromise between ideas and reality.

3. At the University Stage:

Personal guidance at this stage is just a continuation of the personal

guidance offered at the secondary school stage; but its scope is wider.
It should develop in students a sense of social service, social
responsibility, patriotism, mutual respect and tolerance. It should
help the students to accept the vision of life in relation to its
practicability.
