00:00Thank you for joining us.
01:30It should be two distinct roles, one for the learner formation officer and then one for the guidance counselor, with
01:35the guidance counselor being there to support the students, be there if they need someone to talk to, be the
01:42one to keep track.
01:42Are there learners who are exhibiting behaviors that may be seen as vulnerable or at risk and then also to
01:48engage parents and also to converse with teachers who may be handling these students.
02:17Ideally, the role of guidance counselors should not be post the event. Sana it is preventive, which is why their
02:24role and their presence is so important.
02:26Kasi dapat they are able to do activities, do assessments that allow them to understand sino yung students natin na
02:34medyo may kailangang extra support.
02:36Kasi usually pag nag-act out yung bata, ano na yan eh, dulo na yan.
02:54Achievement or learning does not happen in a vacuum because a child is not a student only.
02:59The child is a person, the child is a person, it is a human being who goes through many issues,
03:04many problems, goes through many experiences.
03:07At kung hindi siya natutulungan ng mahusay at buo, hindi din siya makakapag-aral.
03:11The child is a person, the child is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is
03:26a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is
03:28a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is
03:29a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is
03:29a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is
03:31a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is
03:31a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is
03:32a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is
03:33a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person, it is a person
04:10Yung teachers natin, obviously, nakatutok dapat sila sa pagtuturo.
04:14So, they are focused on instruction.
04:16So, yung mga problema ng ibang bata,
04:19pag may pag-aaway, pag may iba pang kailangan immediate,
04:23hindi nila kayang gampanan lahat yun kasi masyadong madami.
04:26And we need really dedicated people to handle this.
06:23In past years, we only gave guidance counselor positions at the high school level
06:28kasi inisip siya previously na high school yan pang career guidance.
06:33It was primarily intended for counseling, for careers, and not to handle all of these formative aspects of student well
06:41-being and formation
06:43that we are now realizing hindi pala pwedeng high school lang.
06:47Dapat mas maaga habang nagbibuild ka ng character, may pinagdadaanan yung mga bata, may nagja-journey.
08:14We are hoping that since we have more graduates in these programs, sila yung pwedeng pumasok, nandiyan na sila, tumulong
08:22na sa mga guro, tumulong sa principal.
08:24And pag pumasok pa yung guidance counselors that we are currently investing in and trying to fix the supply for,
08:30di magkakaroon tayo ng team that can really support our students at the school level.
09:31So hopefully, mapunan yun agad soon para yung unang batch of 10,000 schools makakuha na ng School Counselor Associates.
09:39And if this is utilized well, I'm sure we could fight for a bigger budget for next year para mas
09:45maraming schools yung mabigyan na ng allocation for SCAs.
10:07So hopefully, mapunan yun agad soon para mas maraming schools yung mabigyan na ng allocation for next year para mas
10:10maraming schools.
