In my school as a lowerBasic setup,guidance and counselling focus on basic lifestyle.That is teaching pupils social skills,emotion regulation and how to build friendship amongst individuals. In the other hand ,I will enforce academic support where teachers help children with learning difficulties or set backs to be in line with other colleagues. Give support to students who needed it most. was my my priority. Emotional support includes a safe space for everyone in the school premecies to conducive teaching and learning. Guidance and counselling in lower basic is rewarding but also challenging.Amongst the challenges faced were:: Teachers work load in class. Large number of students and limited time at school..Cultural norms making it hard for children open up feelings.Theidentification of most needy students to give support was also challenging On the other hand in supporting staff in guidance and counselling enhancing training workshops was key.as it encouraged teachers working with counsellors. Establish clear process for them to refer students for support. Foster open dialogue between teachers counselor and parents.

Hello Madam,
I agree with the challenges you stated that teachers work load and large class of pupils, if a teacher is over loaded he or she will not have enough time to support the children we distress.
