Abstract
The research is aimed at ascertaining the relevance of guidance and
counseling services on students’ achievements in public secondary schools in
Bauchi metropolis. The research been an empirical study was conducted using
structured questionnaire distributed to stakeholders in the secondary schools
within the Bauchi metropolis. The sampling method adopted for the study was
stratified random sampling technique. The instrument used for data analysis was
simple percentage and ANOVA was adopted for hypothesis testing. ANOVA was
employed to test each hypothesis at 99 per cent confidence level. Results were
analyzed through descriptive statistics and hypotheses tested using ANOVA at
0.01 level of significance. Thus, the study discovered that the counselors are
doing less than they believe they should be doing in the areas of Counseling,
Consultation, Curriculum, and Coordination. However, in the area of Other
Activities (non-counseling duties), the respondents believed that counselors
are doing what they believe they should be doing. The study suggests that
guidance and counseling practices in our secondary schools can affect student
achievement by having school counselors with high self-efficacy implementing an
effective comprehensive school counseling program. The study recommended that,
it’s worthwhile for all stake holders in education (i.e. parents, teachers and
government) to shoulder their respective responsibilities, such as providing
study materials, conducive place of study, recognizing excellence, appreciating
students hard work as soon as possible among others. These will help to
motivate the students positively towards their study and academic achievement.
