USSSOSA Pushes Early Childhood Counselling, Builds Secretariat to Lead Cause
Omolabake Fasogbon Amid growing concerns over moral decline among school children, the Unity Senior Secondary School Old Students Association (USSSOSA) has renewed calls for counselling and guidance in basic schools
Recent reports have linked a lack of counseling in schools to student dropouts, career misalignments, and growing social issues. In response, the Unity Senior Secondary School Old Students Association (USSSOSA) has advocated for early childhood counseling in basic schools. The association unveiled a newly constructed secretariat in Lagos, intended to cater to students' diverse needs and promote holistic development.
USSSOSA Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Sir Jude Chiedu, emphasized that many school-age children falter because they lack foundational guidance, and urged against punitive measures for character flaws. He shared a personal story of a former classmate who turned to robbery and was ultimately killed, stating that timely guidance could have steered him in the right direction.
USSSOSA Secretary, Edith Nwankwo, recounted how a kind teacher's words of encouragement influenced her life and encouraged her to support young people today. USSSOSA President, Pastor Nelson Azonobi, thanked the school for supporting the project and urged alumni to maintain their commitment to the facility's upkeep and its goals.
