About the Department

​The Educational Counseling Department is a fundamental and effective pillar within educational institutions. It serves as a bridge between the student and the educational environment, working to maximize their mutual benefit. This department's role is not limited to resolving urgent problems; it goes beyond that to become a driving force for the comprehensive development of the individual and the school community.

​Description

​Educational Counseling is a systematic and ongoing professional process that aims to help students gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their abilities, interests, and aptitudes, and guide them toward achieving their maximum academic, personal, and social potential. The department relies on the principles of educational psychology and sociology to provide an integrated range of preventive, developmental, and therapeutic services. Its work encompasses dealing with various age groups, from adapting to the school environment to planning for career paths and graduate studies. This process is implemented through individual or group counseling sessions and various guidance programs.
