The document summarizes a group presentation about the organization and administration of guidance programs in schools. It discusses two main types of programs: non-centralized programs where teachers address student issues independently, and centralized programs led by a guidance expert who coordinates support for students. The author believes centralized programs are preferable despite taking more time, as they allow guidance counselors to thoroughly address student problems systematically and effectively change lives for the better.

Unit III: Organization and Administration of Guidance
Group III reported about their topic regarding to the organization and administration of guidance
that always present in the school or elsewhere. It was stated that this program should have plan or
system as to means of carrying out its objectives. When I heard it, one thing comes into my mind and
says “Ohh! It is same like a lesson plan of teacher who has a systematic and organizes procedure in
delivering a lesson in his/ her daily teaching. That plan contains objectives that must be attaining in
every teaching process that he/ she made. The lesson or subject itself represents the organize program
that being offered in the school and teachers are those professionals or experts in giving the best
knowledge that every student needs.
One topic catches my attention and it is about the “Forms or Types of Organization”. There are two:
the non-centralized and the centralized guidance program.
The first one talks about the program which is no little or no coordination among the teachers and
administrators because the administrator or principal sends students with problems to teachers who
have done outstanding work in counseling and guiding the students. The next one is usually under the
charge of a guidance expert who can effectively secure the cooperation and coordination of all
concerned like the administration down to last link which is the student.
If I will be choosing a program, I will be choose the centralized one because for me, although this is
time consuming but it shows the proper or systematic way in handling the process of guidance. Through
the expertise of the councilor, he / she has the ability to know the problem of the person in a deep
manner, how to start to help them and give them the best guidance that could change their lives for
good.
