Governments at all levels have always looked down on the need for guidance and counselling in schools.............
The dearth of guidance and counselling units in secondary schools across many states in the country has caught the attention of a charity organisation, Kick Against Child Abuse .
The group noted with dismay the dying practice of setting up counselling units in secondary schools, saying the development has killed many talents in the young ones, and that many students, who are overwhelmed by both physical and emotional problems, have been lost to their problems. The group’s director, Jerry Ihesekhien, said this during an awareness campaign and career talk organised by the group at Abule Egba High School, Lagos.
Apart from speaking to the students on subjects of child abuse, career development and innovations, the group also paid a visit to the school’s guidance and counselling department. The director urged both the federal and state governments to make the revitalisation of the unit a priority and necessity, saying counsellors must be readily available for all government schools.
