1) A study of stability of vooati(8ial interests

The foil owing stjggeeticms could be offered on the

the higher secondary sohods students, guidance

t) I t i s a matter of ootaaon of observation that the
teachers and counsellors solely re ly on pu^Us*
participation in certain ac t iv i t i es as an indication of
their interests and try t o guide them accordingly.
Identification of interests' in th is manner often reaul ts

-108-
aui^ested that students* iiatoreats observed througb
their aotivitiee showiLd bo latorpzotod voiy cautiously
and i£ poooltae Interest tests should be given to the
students*
II) Students* dosrinant Interests should be Idezitlfled
and greatdr nuober of aotivltles both eurrloular and
eo-ourrloular be provided for further development of
their taajor Interests*
III) In oxMlor to develop realistlo vooatlonal self-
OQooept aoong the studontSt a ti lde ran^ of voootlonal
