| dc.description.abstract | Students studying in Secondary schools in Lango region display a host of problem ranging from poor academic performance to low self-esteem, which drive them to open drunkenness, skipping of classes, stealing other people’s property, sexual misconduct and actual or attempted suicide. The problems exist despite the fact that guidance and counselling programmes are in place in these institutions. The purpose of this study therefore was to establish the challenges facing effective implementation of guidance and counselling programmes in the Secondary in Lango sub Region. The study employed the descriptive survey research design. It was carried out in Lango College Secondary School (LCSS) and Dr. Obote Collage Seccondary School (DOCSS). The target population were the Headteacher’s, the teacher counsellors and the students of the two Secondary schools. Each Secondary School had two teacher counsellors. LCSS had over 600 students and DOCSS had 800 students making a total of 1400. The sample size was made of 2 Headteacher, 4 teacher counsellors and 240 students. Purposive sampling was used to select the Headteacher and the teacher counsellors. Stratified random sampling and simple random sampling were used to select the student’s sample. Data was collected using questionnaires and it was analyzed using descriptive statistics, aided by the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer programme. The results of the study indicated that the major challenge facing effective implementation of guidance and counselling progammes in Secondary Schools was lack of sufficient facilities due to poor support by the Headteachers and Board of Governors (BOG). The researcher therefore recommends that there is need for all Headteachers to be taken through a thorough and informative training on the importance of giving full support to guidance and counselling programmes in their Schools. There is also need to work to change the negative attitude towards guidance and counselling held by some students. | en_US |
