The introduction of the 6-3-3-4 system of education therefore addresses
the apparent ignorance of many young people about career and the
emphasis on “the training of the mind in the understanding of the world
introducing guidance and counseling in schools. The acquisition of
appropriate skills, abilities and competences, both mental and physical,
as equipment for the individual to live in and contribute to the
development of the individual and societyâ€, became mandatory for
government to employ the services of professionals for effective
implementation. This is because the business of guidance and counseling
include assisting students to understand themselves better in terms of
intellectual, potentialities, aptitudes, talents, educational and
vocational interests as well as helping students to become psychological
well adjusted, emotionally healthy, morally sound and capable of making
wise decisions.
In view of the cited values/transformation of our
educational system there is need to assess the effectiveness of
guidance and Counseling programme in the secondary schools in Toto
Local; Government Area of Nasarawa State.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The
school guidance programme is undoubtedly be set by problems especially
in an assessment of guidance programme on the academic achievement of
students. For this reason, the need to assess guidance and counseling
programme has been stressed. Lewis (1983) clearly points out that (if a
counselor can prove through a thorough assessment that counselor’s
programme is having a positive effect he has made a counseling less
vulnerable to attacks by critics and will have more evidence in his own
professional ability†Shertzer and Stone (1981) state “assessment of the
programme will make it possible for the school personnel to judge how
effective the services are and the nature of decisions needed.†It is
generally agreed that one of the primary reasons for assessing the
guidance programme is the need to prove its services.
The implication
of this is that counselors should provide information in the three
major traditional areas of guidance and counseling in the senior
secondary schools to help students to develop positive self concept,
proper understanding of self and environment.
