BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
It would be of great help to discuss
guidance and counseling and how in how it came into
Nigeria. Before taking our mind into the need for the need of counseling center
in secondary school in Edo state, I will first look into the terms guidance and
counseling and could be used separately and may be exchange, although they are
not necessary syndromes guidance is an umbrella terms for both guidance and
Counselling while Counselling is an essential part of guidance.
Some authors have claimed that attempt to differentiate between guidance and
Counselling have not met with any notice degree of meaning they went further to
say that differences between them are artificial and that the term could be
interchangeable
According to Downing (1992) guidance is the assistance given to enable a person
gain clarification of the essence of this like. The essence is a
meaningful selfhood freedom individual, dignity equality of opportunities
responsible citizenship and worthy activity in work and leisure.
According to Shertzer and Stone (1996) sees guidance as a process of helping
the individual to understand himself and also come to know that people he
interacts with more deeply. It is also the process of helping individual
to discover his vocational social and psychological potentials and likewise
development.
Mertin et al (1995) defined counseling as a process which take place in
pone-relationship between as individual faced with problem which he cannot cope
with alone, and a professional worker whose training and experience qualify him
to assist other to arrive at solution interaction that occurs between two
individual that is a counselor and a client or counselee.

counselee to overcome his crises, on the other hand, guidance and counseling
services are desirable responses to social needs and aspiration.
