12 years in counseling works, Manus Onsang, Dek-D.com web editor said he met with counseling teachers enough to know they were mostly well-intended and overburdened with non-counseling school work.

 

Though every year, he has a chance to guide fresh faces from high-school seeking ways to university, he said some same issues keep happening.

“The same problem I have been experiencing every year is their self-discovery. They are almost finished high school. They are at the intersection, and they don’t know which way they should turn, or which way will suit them.”

School Counsellors is probably a better term.

 

Science Teachers - teach science.  Maths teachers - teach maths.  Counselling teachers - teach counselling?

It's all reverse in Thailand.

Does anybody else wonder if what is being referred to here is 'career' or 'guidance counselling' as its called in Australia, not psychological counselling?

Doesn't seem to appear that they're talking about the later or 'teaching' counselling to children transitioning from high school to college/university, but career choice support.
