Educational counseling entails assisting and guiding students in making the best possible, educational decisions, including educational plans, job goals, stream and specialization options, and college or university placement based on their desires and priorities. In instructional settings, an Educational Counselor deals mostly with students in high school and college. Many schools have their own educational counselors to assist students in finding the right career and making educated decisions in their studies, especially for special needs students, and educational counselors often assist students in coping with personal problems that could be affecting their academic journey. In order to address those difficulties, an Educational Counsellor works with the student's parents, guardians, or teachers to assist them with determining the right solutions to the student's concerns.

There are three core types of Educational Counselling:

1) Educational Guidance and Counselling

2) Vocational Counselling

3) Career Counselling

1) Educational Guidance and Counselling

Guidance and Counseling focuses on giving students the correct advice for their academic needs, whether it's choosing the correct major or finding the best college and course after high school. Educational counsellors can be used in classrooms and universities, and educational counseling programs can also help you find the best mentorship for your learning journey. Educational Counselor Addresses Concerns more than just schooling is looked after by an Educational Counsellor. Some issues that Educational Counselors must address include:

Issues concerning the family

Questions about puberty

Educative and job guidance

Giving help to the family

Problems of transport

Grade-related concerns

Fighting or Bullying?

2) Vocational Counselling

Similar to occupational counseling, vocational counseling focuses on choosing the best profession or employment opportunities for an employee based on their needs and demands in the field or business they want to work in.

3) Career Counselling

Career counseling is something of a holistic blend of career and occupational counseling since it relies on both students and working adults, providing them with the best mentorship they need at any stage of their college and professional journeys.

It would be unjustifiable for me to not chronicle this issue as a microbiologist.                                            Image credits:  Pathology Outlines - Zygomycetes Mucormycosis (formerly known as zygomycosis) is a severe but uncommon fungal illness caused by mucormycetes, a kind of mould.

Mucormycosis is a fungal infection that mostly affects persons who have health issues or who use medications that reduce the body's capacity to resist infections and illness. After breathing fungal spores from the air, it most often affects the sinuses and lungs. It can also happen after a cut, a burn, or any other form of skin damage. While we work to defend ourselves against COVID-19 and live with it, there is another threat posed by a fungus that we must be aware of and respond to. During or after recovery, a few COVID-19 patients ha...

Practical learning vs theoretical learning

Some believe that students should study more about practical courses such as computer degree programs, technical degree programs, and so on. Others, however, believe that students should learn about theoretical subjects such as history and science. But first, let's know what this term implies, and what theory is. In our educational system, theories about knowing basic life fundamentals meet with any topic, such as science, mathematics, english, geography, and history.
