“…In a study that used combinations of descriptive survey and correlation research, Cheruiyot and Orodho (2015) studied 440 participants consisting of 400 students, 20 principals and 20 heads of guidance and counselling departments in schools in Bureti Sub County, Kenya, and reported that approximately two-thirds of the practicing school guidance and counselling personnel did not have the minimum qualifications, and guidance and counselling facilities were inadequate to facilitate the effective implementation of guidance and counselling services in most schools within the study locale. Similar findings on the training and experience of counsellors were found by Bita (2015), Alice et al (2013), as well as Karangu and Muola (2011).…”

Which factors influence the delivery of school guidance services in Colleges of Education (CoEs) in Ghana? The guidance needs of students in the CoEs may not be fully met if the factors that influence guidance service delivery at that level of education are not explored for effective upgrade of service quality. This phenomenographic study therefore explored factors influencing the delivery of guidance services in CoEs in Ghana. We interviewed second‐year teacher trainees (n = 24) and counsellors from three randomly selected CoEs in the Volta region of Ghana (n = 3). The findings indicate that material resources and awareness influenced guidance service delivery in the CoEs. It was also found that although students reported that confidentiality and attitude influenced service delivery in the colleges, the counsellors did not agree with this. Finally, the study discovered that human resource does not influence guidance service delivery in the colleges. It was recommended that college authorities should provide the material resources, such as offices, computers, and test batteries, that are needed for counselling, and counsellors should publicise the guidance programme to raise awareness and lead to the development of positive attitudes towards the programme. This study contributes to the guidance and counselling literature by illuminating the factors influencing guidance service delivery in CoEs. This should be of interest to practitioners, policymakers and researchers in school guidance and counselling.

“…Students may not also want to be seen visiting the school counsellor. Karangu and Moula [25] disclose that most of the school counsellors' offices were located next to the staff common room, the vice principal or the principal's office. This can deter students from visiting the counsellors' office.…”

“…According to Karangu and Muola [25], perception theory of the world assumes that people in an environment learn to interpret and respond differently to stimuli. Gibson's Ecological Theory of Perception notes that the organism and its surrounding environment constitute an interacting network, reciprocating each constituent to the other [26].…”

The purpose of the study was to investigate the challenges found in the implementation of school guidance services in Ghana. The study was underpinned by pragmatic paradigm where concurrent triangulation mixed method design was used for the study. At the quantitative phase, survey was conducted while multiple case study was also used for the qualitative phase. The total sample for the study was one thousand six hundred and ninety-one (1691) teachers was selected. At the quantitative phase questionnaire were administered to 1679 teachers while 12 headmaster/mistresses were interview at the qualitative phase. It emerged that orientation, counselling and information services should be adequately provided in senior high schools to provide students from indiscipline. Moreover, the study revealed that the location of the teacher-counsellor’s office should be convenient to ensure privacy and confidentiality which would enable students to patronise guidance service. Again, the finding revealed that there should be a clear national policy on funding, allocation of time and role definition of school counsellors to help them carry their duties. The paper highlights comprehensive overview on issues related to the implementation school guidance services.

“…The Australian Psychological Society (APS 2013) holds that this kind of combination causes role confusion in students. Furthermore, the lack of facilities (like counselling rooms/laboratories) in a school has significant influences on the delivery of counselling services (Chigona andChetty 2007, Karangu andMuola 2011). A counselling laboratory is a room designated specifically for counselling which is also called the counselling consulting room.…”
