| description | This study investigated stakeholder perception of sixty-six years of guidance service delivery in Ghana. An explanatory sequential mixed method was used. A total of 413 respondents were sampled from a study population of 17, 743 for the quantitative and twelve (12) participants were also sampled for the qualitative perspectives of the study. The numeric data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods, while the qualitative data were analysed using thematic content analysis and pattern matching. The study revealed that there were significantly negative stakeholder opinions regarding basic school guidance services (GS). Responsible factors included a lack of adequate and competent guidance service coordinators, a lack of remuneration for guidance service delivery, and failure to capture GS on the teaching timetable, among other factors. Therefore, it is recommended that the Ghana Education Service, representing the Government of Ghana, should employ adequate and competent guidance service coordinators to ensure effective and satisfactory service delivery. |
