Stakeholders' Perspectives on School Counselling Programme in Namibia
Hako, Anna
European Journal of Educational Sciences, v3 n2 p34-80 Jun 2016
The study investigated the Namibian School Counselling Programme from the perspectives of selected stakeholders in terms of objectives of the Namibian School Counselling Programme, the services they considered to be characteristics of the programme, the resources available in the schools for the implementation of the programme, the beneficiaries and effectiveness of the school counselling programme and the programme services recipients' satisfaction. The study employed mixed methods approach hence both qualitative and quantitative data were collected. The population of the study consisted of two hundred and eighty eight (288) learners, one hundred and forty two (142) principals, sixty eight (68) teacher-counsellors and five (5) parents from schools in Ohangwena region. Questionnaire and interviews (in-depth individual one-on-one semi-structured interview and focus groups discussions) were used to gather data. Quantitative data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), while qualitative data were analyzed by the use of themes and coding. The study found out that teacher-counsellors had no counselling rooms to conduct individual counselling, no separate budget for school counselling programme and that file cabinet and display boards were only available in very few school, inadequate school-counsellor and lack of information on school counselling activities. Therefore, it is recommended that the government allocate separate or special budget to school counselling programme; post, teacher-counsellors to those schools where vacant posts are not yet filled and awareness raising activities on school counselling programme services be held regularly.
