Abstract:
The research sought to explore the impact of Guidance on Pupils performance in Kade,
E.P Junior High School.The study looked at related literature concerning the topic. In
conducting the research, the descriptive research design was used for the study. The
stratified, convenience andsimple random sampling techniques were used in selecting
respondents for the study. The researcher used Statistical Product and Service Solution
for the data analysis where frequency tables were generated. The sample size was fifty
(50).The research instrument(s) used included questionnaire items to elicit relevant
information concerning the topic under study.The study revealed that guidance policy
was not mandatory at the school. However, it was revealed that Teachers were mandated
to provide guidance services to Pupils. It was further revealed that, there were no
documents on guidance policies for pupils in the school. It was also evident that teachers
do not meet parents to discuss guidance issues with them. It was also clear from the study
that students do not always have confidence to approach coordinators when they need
help. Based on these findings, it was recommended among others that, school authorities
should ensure that guidance services are made compulsory for all students and make sure
that guidance coordinators and teachers are all tasked to provide guidance services to
help the students in order to be serious with their studies.
