Guidance & Counselling

The need for guidance and counseling for students arises from the changes taking place in every sphere of life. Academic stress, poor academic performance, cut-throat competition, vast and varied educational and career opportunities, and resulting confusion in making career choices, the ever-growing, changing, and complex world of work, dropout rates, suicide, anger, violence, drug abuse, child abuse, sexual abuse, HIV/AIDS, crime, changes in lifestyle, and divorced/single parents are some of the concerns which require the support of guidance and counseling services for school students. Helplines for students by various organizations like CBSE, a few state-level guidance agencies, NGOs, etc., and the popularity of these helplines point towards the need and significance of guidance and counseling services for the school system. To address the developmental needs and concerns of students at different stages of schooling, a professionally trained person, a counselor, or a teacher-counselor is appointed in PM Shri Kendriya Vidyalaya Coimbatore to work within and with the system.
