Authors : Khabet Lylia .

Abstract

This study aimed to identify differences in the level of counseling services provided by school and vocational guidance counselors to third-year secondary school students between two groups: academically high-achieving and academically underachieving students. The study also examined gender-based differences within each group with regard to the level of counseling services received. To achieve the objectives of the study, a sample of 170 students was selected, comprising 82 high-achieving students and 88 underachieving students. The results revealed statistically significant differences in the level of counseling services provided to high-achieving versus underachieving students. In addition, statistically significant gender differences were found among high-achieving students, as well as among underachieving students in the third year of secondary education. These findings indicate disparities in the extent to which counseling services are accessed and utilized across academic groups and between genders.
