In view of the conclusions made, the study recommends that;
i. The guidance and counseling department should strive to undertake individual G & C sessions so as to improve on the efficiency and effectiveness of G & C in secondary schools.
ii. The school administration should liaise with the guidance and counseling department to raise the level of awareness on G & C in schools through fixing posters in all classes on the hours set aside for guidance and counseling and also allocate adequate rooms for G & C.
iii. The school administration should also prioritize equipping the G & C department with relevant materials such as DVDs, Journals, text books and other materials that would improve the services of this core department.
iv. The Ministry of Education should liaise with the Teachers Service Commission to deploy guidance and counseling teachers to schools specifically to carry out guidance and counseling unlike the current scenario where the G & C teachers are also teaching other subjects.
v. The Ministry of Education should ensure that guidance and counseling is emphasized in secondary schools. This would be achieved through liaising with
63
the Teachers Service Commission to ensure that guidance and counseling is effective enough through constant review of the G & C curriculum in secondary schools to curb student riots and enhance discipline in secondary schools.
