Recognizing the importance of counseling support for the students' development to the fullest, UNESCO Viet Nam, in collaboration with the Department of Teachers and Educational Administrators (Ministry of Education and Training) and Ha Noi Open University organized an E-learning course on gender-sensitive school counselling for secondary teachers.
From September to December 2020, around 700 teachers from Soc Trang, Ninh Thuan and Ha Giang province will take this newly designed course which aims to provide them with the advanced subject matter background on gender-based violence in schools and strengthened capacities on gender-sensitive counselling. They require to foster a safe and healthy educational environment.
“The age of junior high school students is a transition period from children to adult with many diverse and complex psychological changes. Therefore, students at this age need the help of adults to cope with the psychological "crisis" in the process of developing and improving personality. This means that they need school psychology counselling. Through this training course, we wish to equip teachers with the necessary psychological counselling skills and knowledge to support secondary schools”
