Cases of truancy, drug abuse, immorality, destruction of property & loss of life are indicators of the existence of a conflict between educational aims & discipline among secondary school students. This is despite the provision of guidance & counseling services in schools. A descriptive survey design was employed in the study. The study population comprised 861 students, 12 teacher counselors and 6 deputy principals drawn from the six public secondary schools in the division. Stratified & simple random sampling techniques were employed in sampling 129 students for the study. Schools, deputy principals & teacher counselors in the division were purposely sampled. Questionnaires were used to obtain data from the respondents. Using test-retest method, the instruments yielded a reliability coefficient of r = 0.76. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 20.0. The study found out that guidance & counseling had not been effective in enhancing discipline among students & further established shortage of resources, facilities and trained service providers as hindrances to the effective delivery of guidance and counseling services.
