STRATEGIES FOR PROMOTING EFFECTIVE GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING PROGRAMMES IN SCHOOLS IN KWARA STATE, NIGERIA

Summary/Abstract: This study examined the strategies for promoting effective guidance and counselling programmes in schools as perceived by counsellors in Kwara State. The study design used was a descriptive survey. Seventy counsellors were purposively selected from government owned schools in each of the three districts. A total of 210 counsellors participated in the study. The questionnaire titled Strategies for promoting Guidance Programme Questionnaire (SPGPQ) was administered on the respondents. The study revealed that when counsellors are giving opportunities to train and retrain, this can promote effective G & C programmes in schools. It was thus recommended that professional guidance counsellors should be allowed to go for retraining at least once in a year. This will enhance the effectiveness of the guidance and counselling programme in schools.
