CM Sawant said that 96 counsellors and 16 supervisors have been appointed in 198 high schools and 61 higher secondary schools for the academic year 2024-2025.
Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Monday said the number of psychological counsellors in state schools will be increased from 96 to 175.
Replying to a question raised in the Assembly by Mandrem MLA Jeet Arolkar, Sawant said 96 counsellors and 16 supervisors have been appointed in 198 high schools and 61 higher secondary schools for the academic year 2024-2025, while 50 counsellors have been appointed for colleges.
“The number of counsellors for high and higher secondary schools will be increased from 96 to 175. These counsellors provide a safe space for students to deal with academic pressure, personal conflicts and social concerns. They help keep students emotionally healthy,” the chief minister told the House.
He said the number of college counsellors depends on the number of students.
