  • Do you think that offering counselling is part of a teacher’s role, or is it a specialist role? Personally, I think counselling is part of a teacher's role; meanwhile, teachers are trying their best for the improvement and engagement of students. However, I think that even though students have their own difficulties, teachers can also have their personal problems to handle all the things since they are not robots. That is why teachers cannot fully give counselling to the students, even if they can give courage and motivation to the students.
  • Are there any risks involved in offering this support to learners? I have ever heard about if the counsellor listens to the therapist, the counsellor also suffers part of the therapist's. After that, the counsellors have to take time to recover themselves. Imagine if teachers have to listen to almost every student, the impact it can have on the teachers in some way. Inversely, there can be any risks involved in offering this support to learners when the counsellors do not follow the core counsellor manners.
  • Is this something that your school already provides or what further support or training would your school/learning centre need to be able to provide counselling support to learners? It is unfamiliar in the conflict and crisis regions with counselling sessions, and some might think it is not even important for their daily survival. However, to be able to aware of this, we, who know about this, have to introduce. Then, we have to implement it after people have accepted this.
