Pastoral Counselling in Junior and Senior Schools Daniel W Kasomo

In recent years school counselling has again begun to take a more prominent role in schools. Teachers are under huge pressure to teach, keep detailed records on their pupils and fulfill all the criteria of the national curriculum. As a result of this pressure teachers can often find it difficult to take on the added pastoral role. Some schools have thus begun to employing a counsellor. The usefulness is increasingly recognized of having someone on site who is available to all the pupils, not only to meet their educational needs, but also to meet the emotional and psychological needs of pupils, thereby contributing to the emotional well-being of the whole school. This book is based on the expereience of the author on counselling in schools, colleges and Universities. The book is detailed enough to cover the essentials of pastoral counselling in schools and even colleges. Each chapter in this book is long enough to cover the essentials and detailed enough to arouse the curiousity. The book is good to all teachers, mentors, counsellors dean of students and pastoral agents in schools and colleges. It can be used in colleges,houses of formation and after formation for clergy and religious
