  • Experiences of Stakeholders on the School Counselling Services in Ohangwena Region of Namibia
    European Journal of Educational Sciences, EJES March 2019 edition Vol.6 No.1 ISSN 1857- 6036 Experiences of Stakeholders on the School Counselling Services in Ohangwena Region of Namibia Anna Niitembu Hako Department of Educational Psychology & Inclusive Education, University Namibia Olaniyi Bojuwoye Department of Educational Psychology, University of the Western Cape, South Africa Doi: 10.19044/ejes.v6no1a1 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/ejes.v6no1a1 Abstract This is an interpretive account of principals, teacher-counsellors, parents and learners’ experiences and perceptions on school counselling services in Ohangwena region of Namibia. The study focused on what the stakeholders consider to be the characteristics of the Namibian school counselling programme. The study used a qualitative research approach to collect data. The sample consisted of fifteen learners, twelve teacher- counsellors, three parents and five school principals who were purposively selected. Interviews (in-depth semi-structured) and focus group discussions were used to gather data. The results revealed that participants consider counselling, academic development, career planning, education and/ or information dissemination, consultation and referral as the major services that characterize the Namibian School Counselling Programme. While the study highlighted the strengths of the Namibian School Counselling Programme, recommendations are also made regarding areas of the programme which can be improved. Keywords: School-counselling services, School guidance, Stakeholders, Perceptions, Learners, Parents, Teacher-counsellors. Background and context Three fields, namely: vocational guidance, the testing movement and the mental health movement have influenced the school guidance movement. The gradual integration of these areas has resulted in the school counselling profession, as it is known today (Stone & Bradley, 1994).
