  22. What are the needs of beneficiaries? The teachers are mainly interested in aspects which involve class management and efficient methods to prevent undesirable behaviors. Parents want to know actual methods of approaching undesirable behavior, how to organize the children's free time, how to improve communication and the relationship with the school environment. They are also interested in the “rewards” system (when, what and how much to offer to the children). Parents of the students from the last year of studies are interested in following school options for alternative routes that have children available. The parents of the high-school students don’t came to school for counseling services as often as other parents. When they come to school they are interested in methods of redressing their children behavior (absence, runaway from home, minor infractions, drug use and aggression).

  23. The tender spots... • The large number of children assigned to one counselor, sometimes even 1300-1600 pupils. In this situation it is impossible for the counsellor to approach all the problems of the school, to make a psycho-pedagogical portofolio for every pupil, to know every child of that school and to keep close watch on his evolution. • It is desirable to have only 400 pupils or less assigned to one counsellor, in order to be efficient and to achieve quality labour.

  24. School counsellor... • Some of the school counsellors have interschool cabinets, carrying on their job in 3 or 4 schools. When this thing happens, the counsellor can not spend more than 4-6 hours weekly in one school. • At school, a counsellor carries on a large and various kind of activities: he informs the methodic board of the school; he initiates or participates in studies or scientific research; he conceives and applies strategies of intervention in problems such as school guidance, school abandon, aggressiveness, drug use. • The counsellor is also a member of the committee for school and vocational guidance. He/she fights for a non-violent environment, discipline, initiates educational activities together with NGO-s.

  25. Professional aspects... • Recruting and selection of the practitioners are changed (exams and practical lessons). • Training of the school counsellors- They constantly participate to further trainings, most of them have graduated at least one master course at the University and a large number of them are licensed in two disciplines from the field of Psychology and Educational Sciences. • All the children who benefit from the educational services offered by the cousellors have the agreement from their parents or their legal tutors to participate in the activities at the offices.
