Career Guidance To Classes 11, 12 Students Crucial, Counselling Essential: Delhi High Court-Education News

Stressing upon the importance of career guidance to students of classes 11 and 12, the Delhi High Court has said the authorities must ensure there is an appropriate system of counselling in place in schools.

Justice Sanjeev Narula said it is essential that students are counselled about decision making processes and directed the Delhi government to examine the issue of providing career guidance to school students in consultation with experts. The court passed the order on a petition by an “exemplary student” who failed to secure admission in Delhi University, allegedly on account of his school not cautioning him that two of the subjects opted by him in class 12 were not considered as “main” subjects by the varsity, which attracted a penalty of 2.5% deduction of marks at the time of admission.
