School Counsellor As Agent for Change

Psycho-Education Service, Lagos, Nigeria

The history of counselling for children can be traced back to the first century BC, when Cicero said: 'We must decide what manner of men we wish to be and what calling in life we would follow'. In Europe, Locke pointed out in 1695: 'He therefore who is about Children should well study their nature and Aptitudes and see, by often trial what turn they easily take'. The 1895 experiments in systematic vocational guidance programmes at the California School of Mechanical Arts, and further developments at Massachusetts and Wisconsin, brought the guidance movement to the year 1902. Perhaps the words 'vocational guidance' were used for the first time only a little later.
