| dc.description.abstract | This study sought to examine relevance of counselling services for academic success of pupils in five selected secondary schools in Luwingu District in Northern Province of Zambia. Respondents were selected from the five schools in Luwingu District. Purposive sampling was used to select the schools and the teachers found in guidance offices. The learners were randomly selected as respondents apart from those found in the careers club who were purposely selected. The total sample for study was 62 (respondents). Data from teachers was collected through questionnaire and interview. Data from learners was collected through interview and focus group discussion. Qualitative data was analysed thematically. This involved coding and categorising of data to generate themes which were presented descriptively. Quantitative data was presented in tables and figures to generate frequencies and percentages. The study findings revealed that counselling services play a very cardinal role in bringing out academic excellence in schools in changing behaviour, participating actively in the school activities and having a focus of one’s dream in life although these schools are still struggling to arrive at this. These counselling services should be provided and accessed by learners to enhance academic success. Guidance teachers should be qualified and little time should be allocated to them for teaching but instead attend to learners. | en |
