Each student is naturally endowed with myriad of abilities of doing something big in his life but still needs of a proper guidance for making the career that could lead the way to achieve milestones.Nobody is a special learner in the field but all need guidance somehow i.e Rehberi to get the milestones.our school going students should not face such drastic challenges at this stage where flowers get faded away in short period leaving the garden unvisited and barren like.Due to this, their life could be more complicated and insecure to overcome various academic challenges. It is believed that every student is not the same in terms of intelligence, comprehension and so on. According to John Dewey, Education is the development of all those capacities in the individual which enable him to control his environment and fulfill his possibilities. One more quotation given by Gandhi, Education is drawing out the best in a child – body, mind and spirit. In a border sense, if we understand the term Education in a real sense. It is meant to develop horizons of learning. From time immemorial, it has been an unceasing process since the humans started settling on the earth. This discipline has brought many viable changes and developments in the world in terms of Education, Socio-Economic development, Environmental Education, Political and Social security etc.
Career Guidance in the context of educationist visualized and interpreted that it is a sort of assistance given to students in drawing out their inner capabilities as Frobel quotes that Education is the enfoldment of what is already enfolded in the germ. So it is clearly understood that there is already something embedded within an individual. Abilities can be in many forms like; Art, Shrewdness in grasping and cognitive aptitude to solve difficult reasoning and analytical questions. Indeed, a teacher can shape students’ careers well by knowing their different problems which they are facing in the academics.Students sometimes fail to achieve those targets later they feel them quite insurmountable for keeping it upright when such upheavals creep into their field without giving alarm for rescuing their career. Early guidance is therefore a tool that would make them quite resourceful and develop more ingenuity and efficiency in them to perform better at every stage. It has been noticed in institutions that Students face a lot of problems while selecting a course for taking admission in colleges for achieving higher education. It is factual that’s good number of students quit their studies in the middle of high school education that has been resulting in career destruction.
Even though, students have to see many forms of courses in different semesters till the completion of their Graduation and Masters. They have to adopt new ways to deal with passing the semesters. Paradigms on different fronts arise in the subjective curriculum by coming up with new Educational Policies. These may appear to create other new challenges that could somehow hinder progress. It may divert students to many other fields, entangling them in unnecessary activities which are detrimental to them will surely impact their academic career. Lack of career awareness is a very big issue found among J&K students from the perspective of modern education that seriously needs to be addressed. It would be very conducive to organize small workshops for middle up to higher secondary level. Students feel desirous to seek solutions for their problems at an early stage. There should not be any lack in promoting guidance to students whenever needed. Career based avenues should not be limited to higher education only but it should be promoted at the school level whereby a concreted base can be built. Students have to take the whole burden. This burden can be equally lessened if our Education department will formulate a career shaping guidance team at district level who will visit the institutions to interact with the students knowing their career choices. It will benefit the students at large and lots of solutions to problems will be discovered.
