Student counsellors typically offer career guidance and help primary and secondary students develop career objectives. Their responsibilities include advocating for students in school activities, providing classroom advice, academic mentoring, interacting with teachers and parents and collaborating with administrators. This role involves assessing students' abilities and interests, providing information on educational opportunities, and assisting in decision-making. To offer relevant advice, an education counsellor needs to stay updated with the latest educational trends, scholarship opportunities, and admission processes. They work with students to provide academic counselling and develop personalised plans – considering their goals, abilities and learning style. This involves assessing their strengths, weaknesses, interests and aspirations and designing strategies that maximise their potential.
