Abstract
This study investigated secondary school principals’ perception of the
problems and prospects of counselling programmes in Universal Basic Education
(UBE) in Ilorin metropolis. A total of 200 respondents participated in the study. The
major instrument used in collecting data was titled “Problems and Prospects of
counselling in UBE Questionnaire” (PPCUBEQ). Data were analysed using
percentages, means, frequency counts, ANOVA and t-test statistical tools. The null
hypotheses were tested at 0.05 alpha level. The study shows that there were no
significant differences in the respondent’s perception of the problems of counselling
in UBE on the basis of gender. However, a significant difference was found on the
basis of educational qualification and length of service experience. Respondents did
not differ in their perception of the prospects of on the basis of gender, educational
qualification and length of years in service. It is, therefore, recommended that
counsellors should organise enlightenment programmes for principals on the
importance of counselling.
