Guidance and Counselling: A Handbook for Teachers and Students - Paperback

by Charles I. Tinega (Author)

Teaching minus counselling is like faith without action, which is dead (James 2:26). Dr. Charles Tinega's more than twenty-five (25) years' teaching sojourn provides a perfect experience that he now wants to share with you: most excellent Theophilus (Luke 1:3). With respect to guidance and counselling, the experience is revealed in this simple, practical, and heartfelt handbook.

Indiscipline in institutions of learning poses a great challenge not only to young people but also to society at large. This is compounded by life-threatening phenomena such as HIV/AIDS and the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as drugs and other dangerous and addictive substances. All these undermine the provision of quality education to the youth in institutions of learning.

Guidance and Counselling: a Handbook for Teachers and Students starts off the presentation of the topical issues with a captivating motivational story dubbed "Parable of a Foolish Bee", which captures the need for young people to respect elders in society. The book goes on to offer guidelines on formulating a code of conduct, especially for secondary schools in Kenya. This is beneficial to institutions that have not yet had an elaborate copy of school rules and regulations or those wishing to revise the existing ones.
