More than facilitators of learning

Schools have qualified counsellors who identify students with problems and provide them with the advice and guidance they need.

Teachers themselves will admit that in the eyes of their students, especially the younger ones, their roles are pretty important and in certain situations even more significant than their parents.

ALTHOUGH our teaching contexts or settings are not similar, whenever we hear news of something major that has happened involving any student or teacher, it impacts us all in some way.
