Hence, School guidance programs are not just
essential but crucial needs to be made available so as to assist

school. This would subsequently enable them to yield positive result in
their academic achievement or performances. Guidance is a rudimentary
ingredient that plays a crucial role in school system and insists on
upholding the social and moral values of students, suppress, control and
redirect behavior. Therefore, this study is to assessthe impact of
Guidance and Counseling on academic performance of public Secondary
Schools student in Ilishan Remo Area of Ogun State, Nigeria.
1.2 Statement of Problem
The
challenge of education today is to offer school experiences that
provide students with opportunities to develop the understandings,
skills, and attitudes necessary to become lifelong learners, capable of
identifying and solving problems and dealing with change. Students need
to be able to communicate clearly, competently, and confidently from a
broad knowledge base in order to make thoughtful and responsible
decisions. Achieving these educational goals will provide students with
the means to make connections between what they learn and how they live
(Public School Programs 2000– 2001).
In response to these challenges,
how can the government shift guidance and counselling from a
position-focused model that delivers services to specific populations to
a comprehensive model that delivers services to all students in the
school?
Academic performance of public secondary school is declining
overtime, especially in our contemporary where it seems as if that the
government do not care about the performance of the students in public
secondary schools. However, most of time professional counselor tends
not to be made available in public secondary school, in order to promote
the academic performance of the students. This situation often has a
negative reflection on students; character, social personal and moral
values in public secondary school. Based on the nature of guidance and
counseling services, it is visible that academic performance which of
great important to national development could be greatly enhance; hence
this study is out. According to Proverbs 11:14, which say: where there
is no counsel purposes are destroy, but in the multitude of counselors
there issafety.
Based on this bible quotation how can counseling
services make a great effect in public secondary school compare to
private secondary school, in order to enhance the safety knowledge,
acquire by students. Nevertheless, they seem to be a minimal
availability of counseling services in places Ilishan town of Ogun
State. Hence, there is need for one to compare the present role of
counseling services on academic performance of public secondary school
and private secondary school students, failure to do these may amount to
inability to quantify the important of counseling services in
education. This may eventually result in serious lack of educational
poor academic achievement among public secondary school student, compare
to private secondary school students.
