The Bachelor of Education in Guidance and Counselling is a four-year programme that prepares students for providing professional guidance and counselling services in educational settings. Students study counselling theory, educational psychology, teaching methods, curriculum development and guidance programme development. The programme prepares graduates who can support student wellbeing alongside teaching responsibilities. Students develop competencies in counselling theory and practice, guidance programme development, educational psychology, classroom management, curriculum development and student support. They learn counselling theories, models and techniques, communication in counselling, family and marital counselling, vocational guidance and career counselling. The programme covers professional ethics, legal issues in counselling and personal constructs in counselling. In Kenya, school-based counselling is increasingly important as students face academic pressure, social challenges and mental health concerns. The Teachers Service Commission employs teachers with counselling specialisation. Kenya's emphasis on learner wellbeing in the Competency-Based Curriculum creates demand for teachers with counselling skills. Graduates find roles in secondary schools, educational institutions, counselling centres and youth support organisations. Teaching is delivered through lectures, counselling practicum, teaching practice, micro-teaching sessions and research projects. Students undertake counselling skills development through supervised practicum. The programme includes a final-year research project. Course modules include professional ethics and legal issues in counselling, counselling theories, models and techniques, communication in counselling, family, sex and marital counselling, and vocational guidance and career counselling. Graduates pursue careers as guidance and counselling teachers, school counsellors, education officers and youth counsellors. They work in secondary schools providing counselling services. Some join educational administration, NGOs or youth support organisations. This programme is ideal for individuals with empathy, communication skills and passion for student support. Students who enjoy counselling psychology and education will find this programme particularly fulfilling.
