Save the Children is the world's leading independent organization for children.
Our vision is a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation. Our mission is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.
Education is one of the seven thematic areas whereby Save the Children is working to address the educational needs of children. BEQUIP project has been implemented in East Gojjam Zone in Amahara Region and it focused on improving the learning outcomes of children by improving the quality of learning environment, building the capacity and increasing the participation of different stakeholders from grass root until regional level. Educators are challenged to educate all students at an ever-higher level of academic proficiency to meet the demands of the competitive marketplace, even though societal factors may create obstacles to learning for some of our children. Dropping out of school, substance abuse, peer pressure and violence are not abstract issues.
Guidance and Counseling is the process of helping students by assisting them in making decisions and changing behavior. The purpose of guidance and counseling is to impart specific skills and learning opportunities in a productive and preventive manner which ensures that all students can achieve school success through academic, career, and personal/social development.
The base line survey conducted for BEQUIP project clearly show that In spite of the aforementioned importance of guidance and counseling program in school set up the program is not well institutionalized in the education system of Ethiopia particularly in primary schools mainly due to affordability. In steady it is supposed to be provided by all teachers provided that they have the basic knowledge in their pre- service teachers training program. As a matter of fact even with this kind of arrangement the actual practice shows that there is no a user friendly manual for teachers to provide the service and most of teachers have no the basic know how and skills. That is why save the children in collaboration with Amhara Region Education Bureau plan to develop a user friendly Guidance and Counseling service delivery manual for primary schools which will be piloted in BEQUIP project schools and then it will be scaled up to other schools in the region.
