Abstract
ABSTRACT This study is aimed at investigating counselling strategies for curbing truancy among secondary school students in Enugu state. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The research was carried out in Enugu State which has six Education zones. Five research questions and five hypotheses guided the study. The instrument for data collection was a researcher developed questionnaire titled “Counselling Strategies for Curbing Truancy Questionnaire (CSCTQ)”. It was self-reporting and had two sections; A and B. Section A contained 3 items designed to elicit personal information from the respondents while section B was divided into 5 parts and contained 50 items structured to answer the research questions. The response format for the instrument was a 4-point scale of very great extent, great extent, less extent and very less extent. The instrument was validated by three research experts. The overall reliability coefficient of the instrument was 0.72 using Cronbach’s Alpha method. The five research questions were answered using the mean, standard deviation and grand mean scores while t-test statistic was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Major findings of the study showed that male and female counsellors do adopt to a great extent orientation counselling strategy, group counselling strategy, reinforcement counselling strategy and listening strategy in curbing truancy among secondary school students in Enugu state while at the same time do adopt to a very low extent the application of punition counselling strategy in curbing truancy among secondary school students in Enugu state. Based on the findings, the researcher, therefore, recommends among others that school counsellors should include truancy skills in their scheme of work while the government should also mount a sensitization campaign through billboard posts, print and electronic media by encouraging parents to take active participation in the education of their children and attend school Parent Teachers` Association programmes.
