An increased emphasis on such guidance projects evident in all of Oshawa's collegiates, has been brought about largely by a change in the nature of | education. This year, for the first time, Grade 9 was included in Cen- tral's plan. Following the Robart's Plan, introduced two years ago, On- tario students must now choose to follow one of two courses in education: the four-year course, with the aim of employment after Grade 12; and the five- year course, where the student lat a board meeting last week.

EARLIER CHOICE "We used to be able to go safely along leaving such career decisions until Grade 12--but now the choice must be made earlier," Miss Pellow said. 'And because the young don't always look to the future, and tend rather to see only immediate much as we can to make the right choice for their future." She emphasized, however, that a good guidance . depart- ment tries to see the student work out these decisions. for himself.

Also, while students whose parents are in professional work take for granted the need for higher education, children whose parents work on factory produc- tion lines often see little need for continued education.
