A Critical Analysis of the Role of Teachers in Providing Professional Guidance to Students in Government Secondary Schools

Abstract

Professional guidance is not well organized in Pakistan. As we all know that before planting a tree, we should give a strong base like giving nutrition for proper growth and development of plants, so that it would be able to give us the result we are expecting from it. But in Pakistan the backdrop is, that our teachers themselves are aware of the real factors of guidance, but don’t have availability to give professional guidance due to lack of resources and don’t have this subject as curriculum so that they can guide the students. Therefore, students can’t be properly and fully guided by their institutor. This research found that that teachers have knowledge related to professional guidance, it gives positive effect to the students and can bring improvement in their lives and students are mentally able to understand principles of professional guidance. Teachers counsel students individually but can’t be able to conduct class related to professional guidance. Ultimately it was found that teachers need more education for professional guidance before guiding the students. One of the major reasons for this lack was that schools do not get fund to spend on their expenses so can’t make use of technologies related to professional career.
