 INTRODUCTION

Guidance and counseling are important educational tools for shaping a child's
orientation away from negative ideas planted in the child by his or her peers.
Counseling and guidance principles originated in ancient Greece and Rome and It was
critical to direct students to exhibit acceptable attitudes and behaviors both inside and
outside of school. (Ackson Chisenga. 2021). Hence, there is a need in the school for a
counselor to assist the child in shaping their future through counseling therapy
according to (Nalanda International School, 2022). Guidance counselors are certified
professionals who work in schools or academic institutions to assist and advise students
on academic and personal decisions. They provide private counseling to students, assess
students' ability and potential, and collaborate with other professionals on student issues
as (Mansiha Dhami, 2020) .

According to (BetterTeam), Guidance counselors should be accessible and authentic with

excellent communication skills and a profound interest in helping students to attain their academic
and career goals. Top candidates will display natural leadership qualities with remarkable problem-
solving and conflict resolution skills. School counseling is an evolving field, affected by state and
national educational policies, economics, and school reform (Gysbers & Henderson, 2001; Herr,
2001; Paisley & McMahon, 2001). The school counselor’s role is not only defined by educational
agencies, but it is also impacted by the 2001 No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), which calls for

2
educators, including school counselors, to be involved in efforts to close the achievement gap through
increased accountability (U.S. Department of Education, 2001).dual counseling.School counselors
need to be trained to implement a counseling program while still meeting the needs of individual
students (ASCA, 2010; CACREP, 2009). In fact the training of school counselors should emphasize
both program development and outcomes (Brott, 2006).

Students are going through some of the most difficult times of their lives. Even the most well-
adjusted child finds the transition from childhood to adulthood difficult. Aside from the influence of
the family, the school and the school environment have a significant impact on the lives of young
people. The most that other influences can do is assist each young person in coping with the changes
and wrought associated with adolescence, developing a sense of responsibility, and making definite
and significant personal decisions. In short, families and schools have a responsibility to assist young
people in their self-development toward becoming self-fulfilled and well-adjusted adults.

Other countries provides proper counseling. It is clear that school counseling has
made significant progress in the United States and are deeply embedded in the way a given
country addresses the educational needs of its populace. In Japan, the goal of high school counseling
is to "help every student develop abilities of self-understanding, decision-making, life planning, and
action-taking to be able to adjust in the career options he or she decides to pursue" (Watanabe-
Muraoka, Senzaki, and Herr, p. 101).
According to (Bonz Magsambol and Crisitna Chi, 2020). In the Philippines, Acknowledging
the need for guidance counselors during the pandemic, Mateo said that DepEd has partnered with
different organizations to help them address the need for psychosocial support among students and
teachers. Aside from this, Mateo said that DepEd is also training teachers to provide counseling to
students. DepEd has also ordered Schools Division Offices (SDOs) to set up a phone hotline or online
platform to provide remote mental health services for schools without a registered guidance
counselor.
In Iligan City, Guidance Counselors in MSU-IIT visits different companies and Schools
where their alumni are connected to find out how they are, and if employed, some information about
their work and their employers published by (MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, 2014.

This study aims to provide information on the effects of providing students with appropriate
help, the significance of training for guidance and counseling, how these factors have a significant
impact on career decisions, and how they influence how students behave at school

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

In the paper of (Alexander Gbenga Ogundele, 2014), It is quite obvious that no country can
advance without judicious use of her natural resources for the benefit of all of the populace.
construction of infrastructure (roads, railroads, electricity, water in pipes, and communications Health
care (and other services) are crucial to improving the the country's economic system. To strengthen
the economy In this era of global economic expansion, grow meltdown, we must raise all factors'
productivity. (Land, labor, capital, etc.) used in production. Due to this inevitably result in the growth
of the industries, the agricultural, tertiary health, and export industries economy. Equally, it will raise
the employment rate, national income and the economy's growth rate. Students graduates from
colleges today lack the necessary skills to contend their new jobs. This perspective is supported by the
assertion made by Akano in [2] that the field lacks certain skills engineering with computers. He
continued by saying that there is a knowledge gap in the information and technology sector and that
university graduates only have a theoretical understanding of it. According to Okafor in [2], there is a
significant gap between what the school offers and what employers are looking for [7]. According to
this expert, employers prefer to hire people who can use their skills and abilities to advance the proper
guidance and counseling. It is impossible to overstate the importance of skill development in the

4
rapidly expanding other economic sectors. For this to come to pass, policies and objectives.

According to the paper of (Ita Karina Bancin, 2019), The school serves as a single incubator
for the attitudes and behaviors of students. Behavior and attitude are shaped by the environment.
When the existing social relations fall short of expectations, students occasionally discover that they
are independent individuals who do not require the assistance of others. Students' ability to self-
regulate in social situations must be improved, which calls for a supportive environment. Students
who have the capacity for self-regulation in the form of social connections not only perform well
academically but also build strong social networks. By doing this, they will avoid social issues like
being shunned as haughty despite having strong academic credentials or being unable to build rapport
with others. According to Khuziakhmetov, Shafikova, and Kapranova's (2015) study, the
significance of the Study is constrained because social interactions with school graduates demand
more than just subject-specific knowledge. moral standards serve as the foundation for interpersonal
interaction skills as well as competences. The judgment can be understood to mean that interpersonal
skills are developed in addition to academic ability during the course of school interactions that follow
moral standards.

The paper of (Putu Agus Indrawan and Andriyani E. Lay, 2019), stated that Information
technology is evolving quickly and provides a lot of convenience. to people in their quest for
knowledge. the realization of the 4.0 Industrial Revolution's Informational needs are easily met thanks
to the internet, which offers a wealth of resources. information is transferred quickly (Riyanto, 2011).
Since joint development is well known, Technology requires a change from the traditional learning
paradigm to a technology-based paradigm. paradigm for learning. Professional teachers are
additionally necessary for superior learning. Teachers from the pre-digital era, however, have
encountered challenges in establishing successful communication with kids or students who were
raised in the digital age. customs and They undoubtedly learn in ways that differ greatly from the
ways that their parents and teachers learned. the earlier. Students on the one hand, teachers and
parents on the other, are frequently affected by this. however, grew impatient with the students' and
teachers' lack of understanding and teachers.

(Retno Wihyanti, 2019) stated that, One of the reasons why GC in Indonesia for primary
schools is still expanding is the role of the classroom teacher as the guidance counselor and
replacement for the role of the special GC counselor or teacher (Adhiputra, 2013: 27). The capacity
of students to complete developmental tasks is closely related to the implementation of GC in
schools. The researchers came to the conclusion that GC is the provision of assistance using specific
skills and techniques for learners to be competent, creative, realistic, and capable of making

5
responsible decisions based on the analysis of the statements of several education experts regarding
the meaning of GC. As a result, GC implementation in primary schools will effectively support the
educational process. In Indonesia, GC implementation in primary schools is still largely under the
control of classroom teachers. As a result, special GC teachers or counselors are still extremely
uncommon in primary schools. However, it has long been a problem that classroom teachers'
performance has suffered when they are given additional responsibilities as GC teachers.

According to Pullah Mitto Tiego, Stephen Kiriungi Kamore, (2015), A thorough school
counseling program addresses methods to improve academic performance, promote career awareness,
create a work-ready environment, promote self-awareness, encourage interpersonal communication
skills, and impart life lessons All students need success skills, which are an essential part of their
schooling. Dehir, C. Teenage pregnancy, bullying, alcohol and drug abuse, violence, and truancy were
listed as serious issues facing principals in a study by Onderi & Makori (2013). These challenges and
issues had a negative impact on the school's overall operations, including test scores. In Kenya, there
have been more reports of violence in secondary schools in the local newspapers. These Reports detail
bullying, occult practices, drug abuse, numerous homicides, property destruction, riots, and school
strikes and unplanned closings. Lack of direction from the authorities is one of the causes of this
aggravated situation. Nyutu, P. N., and Gysbers, N. C. are parents and educators. (2008).

In the research of (Dabone, KyeremehTawiah, 2015), Guidance is frequently viewed as a

form of leadership or direction given to a person to help him or her make decisions about their present
and future. Contrarily, counseling is viewed as a psychological process that aids a person in
developing self-awareness and problem-solving abilities for use in daily life in the community, the
home, and the classroom. Guidance and counselling is an integral part of modern academic
programmes. Ghana, indeed has a long and documented history on guidance and counseling
(Danquah, 1987). Stakeholders in education are faced with a myriad of problems albeit
social, religious, financial or psychological. The worst victims have also been students and
their educators. Whereas guidance and counselling is seen to be an effective management tool
for peoples’ problems whether this has been transcended to the field of academics and
specifically academic performance is still seeking solutions. According to a report by the
West African Examination Council in 2013 revealed that more 0.73% of candidates who sat
for the West African Secondary School Certificate Examination in Ghana failed in all
subjects. Again, just a year after, 3.07% failed in all subjects.

Based on the study of (Khairi Bintani, 2019), Those who can assist students with complex
6
problems are to solve these issues, you need a professional. therapists in higher education is crucial
for assisting students overcoming obstacles and avoiding mistakes adjustment. The availability of
counseling and guidance the need for services in tertiary institutions is critical to support for one's
social, academic, and professional goals the growth of students. although the position is structurally
sound the education has not included a listing for the college counselor. Indonesia has a system [7].
Nevertheless, the development and to enhance the availability of counseling and guidance in
Universities are still operating. One of them is by construction. a counseling and guidance service
unit selected by the chief of the concerned university.

In the study of (Tivanny Octasya, 2021), it is stated that The spread of the corona virus
initially had a significant impact on the world's economy. But at this point, the effects were also felt in
the educational community. This situation has many people affected. Face-to-face learning activities
have been discontinued by countries, including Indonesia. has inspired the government or academic
institutions to develop a substitute method of education for those students who are impacted or who
are unable to engage in face-to-face instruction straight into class. According to UNESCO, more than
39 countries have closed their educational institutions. educational institutions where 421.388.462
students are affected by this policy both at the secondary and tertiary levels. In light of this, the
introduction of the idea of a lesson as Face-to-face learning cannot function well when applied. When
learning in person, there will be the first delivering the learning concept and its goals. Afterward,
instruction continues until its comprehension and growth. In an emergency, these phases are regarded
as not going well current circumstances (Charismiadji, 2020).

As said by (John Erwin Prado Pedroso, 2022), The COVID-19 pandemic's sudden transition
to a new learning environment has caused significant changes in the educational process and practices
(Strear et al., 2021). A rash of mental health issues, including depression, sleep deprivation, and
anxiety, have been linked to the unanticipated implementation of government lockdowns and social
isolation, as well as a number of home issues, deaths, illnesses, and uncertainty regarding COVID-19
(Rath & Beland, 2020; Savitz-Romer et al., 2021; Pincus et al., 2020). All of which negatively impact
students' drive to succeed academically and lead to behavioral problems in schools (Pincus et al.,
2020). Virtual or online guidance and counseling programs have been widely adopted by educational
institutions due to the difficulty of obtaining and implementing face-to-face or real-time guidance and
counseling services during this time of crisis (Mielgo-Conde et al., 2021; Harrichand et al., 2021).
Guidance counselors had to find new, inventive, and effective ways to carry out their duties as a result
of the shift to online guidance and counseling services.

According to the study of (Mghweno Penueli Eliamani, 2014), Services for counseling and

7
guidance are crucial. Tools for promoting human development, particularly in adolescence
stage. Rapid growth is a hallmark of the adolescent stage and transformation: physical, social,
spiritual, and moral intellectually. Most teenagers attend secondary school, which is why counseling
and guidance services are urgently required. As stated by Bark (2003), direction and counseling are
the support services provided by qualified and experienced individuals to anyone, regardless of age to
assist him in organizing his own daily activities, growing own decisions, form his own opinions, and
carry out own weight. Braddock (2001) also claims that, The goal of counseling and guidance in
schools is to raise academic performance and encourage constructive learning attitudes and behaviors,
as well as more purchases and applications of hostility resolution skills, and decrease school dropouts.

In a recent paper by (Laily Puji Astuti , 2021), stated that environmental factors, such as the
spread of the Covid-19 virus pandemic, have an impact on guidance and counseling during the new
learning process. As a result, different types of services in guidance and counseling are expected to be
provided depending on the needs of the students at the time. During the COVID-19, counseling and
guidance are required. students need counseling due to the pandemic. It is expected that guidance and
counseling in schools will be able to modify a service project and find a solution based on the
difficulties it is currently experiencing. Professional counseling in schools places an emphasis on
skills and techniques for guidance such as counseling, consultation, and coordination (Gybson &
Henderson, 2012), aiming for guidance such as problem-solving and stressing the value of effective
communication in students to bring about change in themselves. Counselors have an essential role in
the education system and provide direction and guidance to students in schools.

School counselors must be inventive, creative, and productive in order to provide online
guidance and counseling services (Perdana & Shofaria, 2020; Petrus & Sudibyo, 2017). These
qualities help students avoid the boredom brought on by the change in learning patterns and make it
easier for the counselor to choose the right services (Nugroho, 2020). As a result, intensive guidance
and counseling services should be provided throughout the pandemic (Meleo-Erwin, Kollia, Fera,
Jahren, & Basch, 2021; Karaman, Eşici, Tomar, & Aliyev, 2021). Communication in online guidance
and counseling services can happen synchronously or asynchronously. While synchronous
communication takes place simultaneously, asynchronous communication causes a delay between the
contacts (Barak, Klein, & Proudfoot, 2009; Dowling & Rickwood, 2013). Situmorang (2020) refers
to a suitable counseling service for the pandemic situation, which is typically referred to by a number
of terms, such as web-based intervention, computer-mediated therapy, cybertherapy, online
counseling or therapy, and e-therapy (e-counseling) (Dowling & Rickwood, 2013). Both synchronous
online counseling conducted via chat and video conference as well as asynchronous online therapy

8
have been widely used (Chester & Glass, 2006; Bambling, King, Reid, & Wegner, 2008).

The study of (Mubiar Agustin, 2020), In general, students' primary goals upon entering
college are to secure a job, pursue interests and talents, and make friends. These findings are
consistent with research by Goldsen in the United States, which found that 35% of students attend
tertiary institutions primarily to learn science, 36% place a strong emphasis on developing the
knowledge and skills necessary for future careers, and 17% enroll with the intention of making friends
(Supriadi, 2001). According to the goals of students enrolled in tertiary institutions, it would seem
that the majority of students have high expectations for the institutions they enter. This circumstance,
at least, illustrates how students who enroll in higher education are expected to have unique
advantages as a support for their ability to compete and have strong bargaining power in the careers
they will pursue in the future with the help of Guidance and Counseling

Based on the research of (Muh Farozin, 2020), he stated that recognizing and exercising with
complete awareness of can improve their health, productivity, creativity, and innovation, religious
customs based on expectations of students' behavior needing educational services (teaching, guiding,
and/or educating) Guidance, counseling, regular training, and education and encouragement for a
favorable environment. Learning is a deliberate and intentional attempt to foster a culture of the
process of learning and teaching so that students actively maximizing their potential for spiritual
growth, self-control, personality, intelligence, and the abilities required by their society, country, and
state [1]. Although counseling and guidance are essential components of the goal of education is to
help and shape students. in order to reach full and ideal independence development. Services for
guidance and counseling are organized, unbiased, sane, and ongoing efforts that are made by the
advisor or mentor who provides guidance and counseling to encourage the growth of students or
clients to attain independence through the capacity to comprehend, accept, lead, decide, and realize
being responsible for your own happiness and he had success in his life.

In the research paper of (Mine ALADAĞ, 2013), it is stated that the importance of skills
training can be attributed to the fact that it gives new counselors a concrete, yet manageable,
framework that aids them in comprehending the counseling process; as a result, counseling skills Pre-
practicum training is accepted as the first step education for counselors. Furthermore, training in
counseling skills is typically used before oversight and practicum training.

(Elijah, Karen, 2011) said in their research that working school counselor discusses the
importance of giving gifted and talented students specialized guidance and counseling services.
Unfortunately, some school counselors may not have the skills or training necessary to offer these

9
services, and some may have prejudices and attitudes that make it impossible for them to work
effectively with these students. However, school counselors can offer specialized skills in service
delivery. This discussion looks at gifted students' academic, career/vocational, social, and affective
needs as well as any areas where they might need specialized help. The American School Counselor
Association's (ASCA) 2004 Ethical Standards for School Counselors can serve as a guide and support
system for school counseling professionals as they pursue the education and training required to better
meet the needs of gifted and talented students, who are in fact included among "all" students that they
are urged to help.

As stated by (Rahim, Maryam; Hulukati, Wenny, 2021), Central to the creativity development
in elementary schools are competent teachers. Enhancement of teachers' competence could be done
through the provision of guidance handbooks for the teachers. As based on the problem statements,
this research was aimed at developing handbooks of guidance and counseling that could improve
teachers' competence in providing quality guidance and counseling services; the handbooks were
expected to help teachers in cultivating the creativity of elementary school students. Book 1 Guidance
and Counseling Implementation Plan, Book 2 Service Materials, Book 3 Teachers' Guideline, and
Book 4 Evaluation Guideline were the designed handbooks for this research and development study.
Using a pre- and post-test for one group, a quasi-experimental method was used to assess the
effectiveness of the handbooks. The experimental data analysis revealed that tcount > ttable because
the values of tcount and ttable were 7.665 (significance level of 0.05 (14)) and 1.76, respectively. This
outcome demonstrated that the manuals were useful for increasing teachers' capacity to deliver high-
quality guidance and counseling services, which helped the teachers foster the creativity of elementary
school students. In a nutshell, it is advised that teachers use the handbooks to encourage students'
creativity.

(Indonesian Journal of School Counseling, 2016) stated in his study that the school
counselors have a professional role to be involved in implementing education in schools (Reiner,
Colbert, & Pérusse, 2009). The role of school professionals is to link work with the aim of improving
schools (Dahir & Stone, 2009). Education aims to improve the quality of students so that it becomes
complete, integrated, and balanced, in accordance with competency standards. Implementing the
education offered by school counselors through guidance and counseling services to assist students in
gathering information and making plans for the future (Myrick, 2011). Accountability and student
academic performance have compelled the counselor to examine the role of school counselors in
fostering academic success. In the age of disruption 4.0, counselors have a role to use information or
approaches to guidance and counseling to students that are based on research through counseling and

10
guidance research, and student school completion (White & Kelly, 2011). Counseling interventions
have significant positive effects on students' behavior, problem-solving skills, and career knowledge
(Whiston & Quinby, 2009). School counselors can benefit from conducting guidance and counseling
research to better understand the needs, problems, prevention programs, and interventions for
students.

According to the study of (International Journal of Advanced Educational Research, 2018),

Human life has problems and problems. A man has always tries to best efforts to overcome the
difficulties or adjust to his environment. The present education scenario primarily based on ICT. The
students learn from various media like T.V, news papers, internet etc. Some time they did not accept
the knowledge because they faces some confusion in a particular knowledge which was came from
various sources. Present time has come to exchange our knowledge with the students. We can see that
many students are faces stress, depression, and anxiety.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

 The researches conducted this research using a qualitative research. Qualitative research is
commonly used in the humanities and social sciences, in subjects such as anthropology, sociology,
education, health sciences, history, etc. Qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing non-
numerical data (e.g., text, video, or audio) to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences. It can be
used to gather in-depth insights into a problem or generate new ideas for research (Pritha Bhandari,
2020). The main goal of qualitative research is to comprehend a study question from a humanistic or
idealistic perspective. Although the quantitative technique is more trustworthy because it is based on
numerical data and can be replicated by other researchers, it is less flexible.

The qualitative technique is used to comprehend people's attitudes, interactions, behaviors,

and beliefs. It produces data that is not numerical. Researchers from several disciplines are paying
more attention to the integration of qualitative research into intervention studies (Perspect Clin Res,
2013). This study's qualitative design is appropriate since it seeks to examine the experiences and
overviews of the student of Iligan City Medical Center College BED by its Guidance and
Counseling.

This research used a Case study design. A case study is an in-depth investigation on a person,
a group of people, or a unit with the intention of generalizing over various units. An rigorous,
systematic assessment of a single person, group, community, or other unit in which the researcher
looks at in-depth data relating to multiple factors has also been referred to as a case study (Heale,
2017). A case study is a research approach that is used to generate an in-depth, multi-faceted
understanding of a complex issue in its real-life context. It is an established research design that is
used extensively in a wide variety of disciplines, particularly in the social sciences (BMC Med Res
Methodol, 2011). It will carry out a thorough investigation of the effects of proper guidance and
counseling to students of the Basic Education Department of the Iligan Medical Center College.

This research conducted face to face interview for the research data. The researchers
provided 20 questions for the interview. The target respondents of the researcher are 15 junior and
senior highschool respondents. Students who are not in the field of Iligan City Medical Center
College BED are not included in the scope of our research. An interview is a qualitative research
method that relies on asking questions in order to collect data. Interviews involve two or more
people, one of whom is the interviewer asking the questions (Tegan George, 2020). This research
used a semi-constructed interview questions, the semi-structured interview format encourages two-
way communication. Both the interviewer and the candidate can ask questions and further the
conversation. A semi-structured interview is a meeting where the interviewer asks open-ended

15
questions, instead of following a strict and formalized list of questions (Alison Doyle, 2022).

This research used simple random sampling method. A simple random sample is a randomly
selected subset of a population. In this sampling method, each member of the population has an
exactly equal chance of being selected. In which every junior and senior high school students has the
equal chance of getting interviewed by the researchers. This method is the most straightforward of all
the probability sampling methods, since it only involves a single random selection and requires little
advance knowledge about the population. Because it uses randomization, any research performed on
this sample should have high internal and external validity, and be at a lower risk for research biases
like sampling bias and selection bias (Lauren Thomas, 2020). The respondents must be junior and
senior high school student and enrolled in the Basic Education Department of the Iligan Medical
Center College. Only those respondents who are available to take part in the survey will be chosen as
respondents. Participants are required to give their informed permission. No respondents' personal
information will be disclosed during the poll, the researchers guarantee.
The questions for the interview was reviewed and corrected by our Practical Research
adviser, Teacher Abigail Quijano. The researchers also made sure that the responses of the
respondents are based from their experience and overviews about guidance and counseling.

The researchers will use narrative analysis as also advised by our classroom adviser, Sir
Khalid Ramber. Narrative analysis Narrative analysis is a method of examining and interpreting
stories, personal accounts, or narratives shared by individuals. It focuses on understanding the
meaning, structure, and context of these narratives to gain insights into people's experiences,
perspectives, and identities. A group of analytical techniques known as "narrative analysis" are used
to analyse texts as well as visual data that take on a storied form. People tell tales to help them
organize and make sense of their life, and their storied narratives are useful and purposeful, according
to a frequent presumption of narrative approaches. On the basis of whether they concentrate on the
narrative content or structure, many methods to narrative analysis are classed, with the thematic
version asking what a tale is about and the structural version asking how a story is put together to
achieve specific communication goals (Lia Figgou,2015).

DISCUSSION

The purpose of the study is to ascertain the effects and outcomes of

offering students appropriate guidance and counseling. The researchers had
found that counseling and guidance have a significant impact on students,
enabling them to overcome obstacles, accomplish their objectives, and lead
fulfilling lives. Counseling improves students' academic, emotional, social, and
career outcomes by addressing various aspects of their well-being and
development, and its effects last long after students have finished their
academic careers. Counseling gives students the tools, knowledge, and support
48
they need to succeed in the long run in their personal and professional lives.
Effective counseling gives students the tools they need for lifelong learning and
wellbeing while preparing them for the challenges they may face as adults.

Additionally, the researchers found that counseling and guidance services

give students tools and encouragement to raise their academic performance.
Counseling can improve students' learning outcomes and overall academic
achievement by assisting them in setting realistic goals, creating productive
study habits, managing their time, and overcoming academic challenges.

In conclusion, students who receive counseling are given the knowledge

and resources necessary to make wise decisions. Counselors give students the
tools they need to make wise decisions by guiding them as they evaluate their
options, weigh potential outcomes, and weigh pros and cons. The ability to make
wise decisions prepares students for a variety of situations outside the realm of
the classroom. Counseling supports students in developing essential life skills,
such as self-awareness, self-esteem, communication, and problem-solving. It
promotes healthy relationships, empathy, and conflict resolution skills,
enhancing students' personal and social development.

Professional Development encourages ongoing professional development

for counselors. Provide opportunities for counselors to engage in continuing
education, attend conferences, participate in workshops, and stay updated on
the latest research and best practices in guidance counseling.

Practical Experience and Supervision offers practical experiences, such

as internships or supervised counseling practice, to provide counselors with
opportunities to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world scenarios.
Supervision should be provided by experienced professionals to offer guidance,
feedback, and support.

Recommendations
To meet the needs of the students, make sure there are enough trained

49
and qualified counselors available. To be able to give each student
individualized attention and support, the counselor-to-student ratio must be
manageable. Make sure there are sufficient numbers of trained and qualified
counselors available to meet the needs of students. In order to give each
student individualized care and support, the counselor-to-student ratio should be
manageable.
