Abstract
One thousand six hundred and forty three primary and
post-primary school g i r l s in Oyo and Zaria areas of Nigeria
were studied to determine GUIDANCE SERVICES available to them.
The main objective of the study is to compare GUIDANCE
SERVICES available to girls in Zaria Division of the North
Central State with those of Oyo Divisions of the Western
State of Nigeria, The data and information for the study
have been collected by using questionnaires, library
f a c i l i t i e s , personal interviews and observations, reports,
studies and educational s t a t i s t i c s in the two areas.
The study has revealed:
( i ) that there are very limited guidance personnel to
man GUIDANCE SERVICES in our schools,
( i i ) that the time provided for GUIDANCE SERVICES (where
they are rendered) are inadequate,
( i i i ) that GUIDANCE SERVICES are not reaching the girls
especially those who need educational and vocational
counselling. Lack of these services are contributing
to the high dropouts rates of g i r l s in schools, and
(iv) that i l l i t e r a t e parents unlike literate parents
are sceptical about sending their daughters to
schools.
One could conclude from the study that:
(a) the implementation and improvement of GUIDANCE
i
SERVICES in our schools demand the concern and
a t t e n t i o n of both the people and the government
of Nigeria and
(b) GUIDANCE SERVICES are necessary in Nigerian
School
