Importance of Career Counseling in Schools


Schools are sacred. A school is where the basics are built. Basic education, language skills and communication skills are all developed in school. It's also where the first goals and dreams come to mind which get the youngsters excited. They being so young, it's hard for them to decide. This is where career counseling becomes useful and essential. Career counseling can help school children decide without letting them get influenced by peer pressure or other hindering reasons. One proper guide, one caring counselor can make a lot of difference.

It all starts with class one and there's not much to worry till eighth or ninth. However, at that point, it's vital to start thinking about career choices ahead. Here is where Science or Mathematics don't need total attention. Not all subjects need mastery; it's only a few which need to matter. A career decided early can take one far. It's ideal to know as early as possible.

Along with children, parents too require counseling so that they decide correctly for their beloved. A decision based on anything other than complete knowledge and information can backfire. Thus, it's vital for them to realize the importance of career counseling for them and their children.

The main concern in this article is about school children upto tenth. Proper career counseling helps them decide about intermediate which includes eleventh and twelfth. And intermediate education is what really matters in the end. We won't talk about intermediate students here as that's much more complex and for later.

For school children, career counseling is especially important for knowing about the various career options and the education and skills needed for them. A complete analysis of their strengths and weaknesses is helpful and conclusive for them and their parents. A future shaped early is more likely to produce results and enables one to face the world more bravely and appropriately when the need arises. The youth of a nation is its strength and school is the starting point. Proper guidance when in school is best for students, the nation and all others concerned. With early detection, problems can be prevented and anything is possible.

MENTAL HEALTH OF STUDENT MATTERS

Worldwide, nearly 154 million people suffer from depression and 106 million meet the criteria for substance abuse (Source: “Startling Statistics about Mental Illness”, from ASHA International Website, 2012.) When a parent sees his/her child in physical pain they will take him to doctor but this case will not be same if the child is suffering from mental illness, because the Stigma attached to the term ’Mental Illness’ create a negative feeling in the mind of parents and students. They would be open to talking about physical unease but not mental unease because of the negative labels attached to it. Our society needs to understand that psychological health is as important as physical health and the combination of the two describes a person’s weal.

Choosing a college is the most crucial stage for a student as he/she advances from school.
