Government recognizes the role
Guidance and Counselling plays in the cognitive and career development,
character formation and emotional health of learners at all levels of
education.
Such a platform for career guidance has become necessary since
many students and parents are informed about career opportunities available and
as a result, enrolled for courses which would not make them get
employment easily. Career Guidance is a mitigating factor
for averting future youth unemployment, by focusing school youth on
key skills demanded in the labour markets.
This publication focuses on the new
dimensions in the world of work, the various careers, professional
skills and training requirements, as well as the various educational and
skills training opportunities available.
I reiterate the commitment of the
Ministry of Education and Sports to continue providing relevant
information materials to aid Career Guidance service provision in
educational institutions; develop capacity of service providers and
provide support and guidelines to educational institutions and
stakeholders on good practices of Career Guidance, Educational Guidance,
Social Guidance, Psychosocial Support Services and Personal Counselling
to all learners and school community members.
The Ministry will continue to
focus attention on the services that will promote positive development
of learners in all aspects of orientation, education, career/vocational,
personal, social, psychological, moral and ethical conduct and living.
