This book highlights professionalism and effectiveness of the teacher counsellor in student Guidance and Counselling in secondary schools in Nandi County, Kenya. The author points out that in Kenya, teachers are not trained as professional counsellors yet every school has a Guidance and Counselling Department. Jepkemboi establishes that Guidance and Counselling in secondary schools is not the responsibility of teacher counsellors per se; rather, other stake holders such as school chaplains, parents, head teachers and peer counsellors play a role in Guidance and Counselling services. She observes that Guidance and Counselling facilities, in secondary schools, are not adequate and effective. Therefore, the author recommends that the government trains and deploys teacher counsellors to schools for effective co-ordination of Guidance and Counselling programs. She posits that there should also be a continuous professional development for the present teacher counsellors to equip them with knowledge and skills on effective Guidance and Counselling. This book is a must-read for teacher educators, professional school counsellors, school teachers and school principals in Kenya and beyond.

Theft among secondary school students is on high increase and persisting among indiscipline cases in secondary schools.

Secondary Schools in Kenya have in the recent past been experiencing strikes and for a very long time now, there has never been a long-lasting solution to this problem.During second term of every year, several schools experience strikes caused by students which in some cases lead to deaths! In the past, teachers have been applying corporal punishment.The newly promulgated constitution of Kenya outlaws the use of the cane as a perfect way of instilling discipline among learners in schools. Scholars in Education argue that provision of Guidance and Counseling Services can help in reducing indiscipline cases experienced in School.The author therefore, being an educationist, believes that the situation can perfectly be contained if all principals of Secondary Schools developed positive attitudes towards provision of this essential Service to all students in their schools. The book has given various ways through which principals can use Guidance and Counseling programme to eliminate cases of indiscipline. It is therefore hoped that Principals, Head-teachers in both primary and secondary schools and administrators in general, will find this book very useful to them

This thesis explores the policy and practice of the secondary school guidance and counselling programme in Kenya in the context of the school. The study was conducted in three stages beginning with an initial survey at stage one and case studies at stage two. At the third stage of the study, discussions were held with various stakeholders including a focus group discussion with students. The theoretical framework for the study is based on prismatic society (Riggs, 1964; Harber and Davies, 1997), and Fullan's (2001) model of educational change, using the person centred counselling approach as the background to counselling. Findings suggest that despite the emphasis on guidance and counselling in schools, the provision of guidance and counselling services is highly variable and somewhat fragmented in scope largely depending on individual schools. The main implication of the study is the need for a more comprehensive guidance and counselling policy in this increasingly important area of education. These relate to the appointment of counsellors, professional issues including a code of conduct for counsellors and the need for a more comprehensive programme that is learner friendly.
