Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to
investigate perception of students on parental
involvement in the career guidance of
secondary school students and how such
involvement can be increased.
The sample size of 568 students from a
population of eight thousand (8,000) was used
for this study. The researcher used random
sampling techniques to select the respondents
from the fourteen (14) Government Secondary
Schools. This technique was used to give each
respondent in the population an equal
opportunity of being selected.
Analysis of the data collected revealed that
significant difference exist between the mean
scores of male and female students on their
perception of their parents contribution to school
guidance programmes. It showed that female
students tend to perceive the parents as making
significant contribution to school guidance
programmes. It also revealed that nosignificant
difference exists in the perception of male and
8
female students with respect to parents with
formal or informal education in their contribution
to students' participation in school guidance
programmes.
Based on these findings the following
recommendations were made:
(a) The guidance programmes in the schools
investigated will be meaningful and
relevant to the students if parents and
members of the community should be
fully involved.
(b) Through the Parents' Teachers' Association
parents
be given proper orientation towards guidance
programmes and those who can not attend
should be given papers presented during
seminars and conferences.
(c) Parents should be enlightened to
afford utmost freedom for career
choice of their children
