Career Counseling for Students
The latest episode of Ranra (light) focused on the importance of career counseling of Secondary School certificate (SSC) students, regarding which subjects they must opt for their better future.
The SSC results of 2017 showed the poor performance of government schools mainly because illiterate parents don’t know about career counseling and how it helps students to choose subjects according to their interest and potential. Limited access of students to quality education and lack of facilities in government schools are the main reasons behind this dilemma.
Moreover, the program highlighted the role of government and how they should reshape education policies and design them according to the existing needs and requirements.
Dr. Raza Ullah, Educationist and Assistant Professor at Islamia College University, Peshawar, took part as studio guest in the show.
Mr. Raza Ullah said: “Whatever you do, do with a commitment and there is no shame to opt for Art subjects. We should be committed to education and our profession as only through this we can become productive citizens of the society”.
A radio report was made part of the radio program. The report highlighted the issues of the students after completing SSC exams and how they have no access to career counseling in their schools.
Three listeners took part in the program through text messages. They shared their marks and asked the program guest to help them in selecting their career.
