of the school counsellor's work were discussed.
The school counselling system of the Republic of South Africa
was described next, with specific reference to the current
manifestation of counselling as implemented by the Transvaal
Education Department.
A comparison was drawn between the educational and school
counselling service of the Netherlands and that of the RSA. A
list of requirements to which a school counselling service must
comply, was also compiled. By using these requirements as
guidelines, a few problem areas, as well as positive attributes
of school counselling in the RSA, were identified.
New insight gained after the study of the school counselling
service of the Netherlands and the identification of certain
problem areas or deficiencies in that of the RSA, led to a few
recommendations concerning school counselling in the RSA. / Skripsie (MEd)--PU vir CHO, 1990
