dc.description.abstractA guidance program was established in the Midwest secondary schools in 1972 by the Ministry of education, Benin City. always, whenever there is a guidance program, certain contributions are attributed to the availability of such services. This study had the major purpose of examining the strengths and weaknesses of the program by an identification of the status of each guidance service. The following three hypotheses were tested. 1. If there is an adequate program of guidance services in the selected secondary schools, the students will achieve (a) Academic success and (b) Personal adjustment, 2. The students who receive guidance services make more appropriate educational plans than those who do not receive guidance services. 3. An alternative or Control Hypothesis: There is no significant difference between the educational attainment of the high-achievers in schools with adequate guidance services and the schools without organized guidance services. A sample of 40 students was drawn from each of the six selected secondary schools. Thus, a total of 240 students took part in the investigation. The instruments used to obtain the data for achieving the purposes of the study were GPA (grade point average), a questionnaire and an Interest Inventory - the GRZ. As a result of the analyses of the data, the first and second hypotheses were accepted. They were significant at .05 level. There was partial support for the third which was an alternative hypothesis. Thus the study has proved that students who receive guidance services are more satisfied with various school subjects, teachers, and school work and that this is indicative of academic success. Secondly, underachieving students improve their academic performance when exposed to guidance services. Thirdly, guidance services are helpful toward students' adjustment both socially and emotionally. Fourthly, when students are given vocational information, there exists the greater probability of choosing occupations realistically. Chance element and influence of other factors are eliminated or reduced. Finally, on the basis of the findings of this investigation, guidance services are needed by both high and underachieving students. It is recommended that guidance services are made available to the students in all secondary schools throughout "the Delta Province of the Midwest. This necessitates the training of more careers masters mistresses and a favorable psychological environment. Such physical facilities include secretarial services and a private office for counseling. The favourable psychological environment refers to adequate support which should be given by both the Ministry of Education, Benin City and the principals in the secondary schools.en_US
