Abstract: | This article evaluates students' perception of school counselling in Cameroon, using a quantitative research design (Z test) with a purposive probability sample of 150 high school students from Bamenda sub-division. School counselling is an integral part of the school programme, and the research shows that students have an opinion of what the role of counselling should be. It also reveals, however, that school counselling does not influence students' educational and career choices, and that it offers little help in solving students' psychological problems. The findings of this study show fundamental structural and functional limitations of school counselling in Cameroon, and highlight the necessity of re-evaluating its methods and objectives, and the need for quality interactions with the students.
