The holistic welfare of every learner is the utmost priority of the Guidance and Counseling Center. In order to pursue this endeavor, a set of planned activities with desired goals is sensibly organized.  

 

Guidance and guidance services according to Crow and Crow aimed at assistance, organized more or less loosely, and rendered by means of various procedures and specialized techniques which increase the functional aspect of the program. For differentiation and clearer understanding we can consider guidance as a more or less general term to connote both systematic and unsystematic and informal means toward assisting an individual, whereas guidance services include only all systematic and organized procedures and facilities for the same end.

They include facilities, procedures and tools. They provide comprehensive information about opportunities, personality development, effective studying and learning. They set up means of aiding placement, adjustment in the classroom, and co-curricular and community activities.
