Student Counseling

Why student counseling is important in third world Countries?

 "There is no any specific institution in third world countries to guide students regarding the scope of study .Due to this students have no idea which educational field is good for them".         

Student counseling should be compulsory for students in Asian sub continent, because in SAARC region parents try to impose their wishes and dreams on their children to fulfill.

This phenomenon is very common in third world countries like Pakistan where comparatively literacy rate in previous generation is very low. Even I have witnessed in highly literate people they also think like that. You can call them highly educated illiterate. Usually these kind of parents fail to achieve their goals and dreams when they were students, so they undermine their children’s will and don’t understand what their children want to be in their lives. And often seen these kind of incidents when their kids failed to achieve their parents dream, then their parents discouraged them and feel them that they can’t do anything in their lives and also their kids also assuming like their parents. In nutshell children’s feel that they   don’t posses those abilities or skills so their confidence got shattered. 

Now in the conclusion I think here comes the most important role of institutions like student counseling where students can know the positives as well as negative points of that particular field or you can compare with other fields also. And they can check their aptitude in that specific field. Either is it good or bad.
