Principals’ And Students’ Attitudes Towards Guidance And Counselling Servises In The Management Of Secondary Schools Of Kisii County
Abstract
The overall running, control, tone maintenance, the general development of school education and all-round standards in secondary schools is the ultimate responsibility of the principals. In essence, the principal is held responsible in case of the failure
of any activity or services in the school. The study sought to establish the
importance of guidance and counseling in the running of schools and establish whether principals were trained to guide and counsel students. The study used questionnaires for principals and students as research instruments
which were issued to eighty (80) principals and four hundred and four (404) students drawn from sixty (60) public and twenty (20) private secondary schools. The study was Ex-Post Facto in design. Analyzed data,
showed that only 24.4% of the principals were conversant with objectives of guidance and counselling services in schools. The study recommended that Principals and teachers be trained and oriented in guidance and counselling objectives and techniques through regular in-service courses, seminars and workshops.
