Guidance council requests personal social guidance There 1b less need tor vocational guidance in high schools than there Is a need for social and personal guidance a guidance program council told members of the Halton County Board of Education at their regular meeting Oakville Vice chairman BUI suggested the schools were not equipped to offer guidance In social and personal problems and those could better be handled by community agencies Chairman- of the program council on guidance Carl Hokansson said there was less need for vocational guidance on the high school level and more of a need for personal problem solving However he said the vocational guidance does not suffer because of attention given to personal problems H S KOLDEN OPTOMETRIST Cork St East GUELPH Phone and his committee spent an hour and a half fielding questions from the trustees Asked if he felt it was necessary for guidance teachers to be teachers Earl Fletcher a member of the committee in dicated that they did not but said teachers had an advantage in talking with the student Another person doesnt understand the school situation like a teacher would he explained The committee recommended pilot projects bo set up in at least three junior schools In the county to evaluate the effectiveness of various techniques at that level and that full time guidance counsellors should be provided Director Jim Singleton suggested it would be a con tradlctlon of board policy to promise full time persons in any department because it was the board s policy to have the principals allocate their teaching staff and terms as they saw fit and then stand accountable to the board Urge action The committee also recom mended counselling services be undertaken immediately by a committee of board and student service representatives especially in the Meld of clinical psychologists The committee recommended more student services in the area of clinical psychologists be made available The committee ex pressed a hope of having these Items included in the 1971 budget The report recommended a minimum of one guidance counsellor for every elementary students and every 300 high school students Hard to accept Trustee Liberty Pease said it was hard to accept the report because he questioned the rationale for the recom mendations He said it would cost about one and a quarter or one and a half million dollars to Implement the reports Committee chairman expressed dismay at the cool reception the report received The board received the report with a stipulation that the committee provide rationale for each of
