Description
Summary:Vocational Guidance has evolved towards the concept of Socio-Occupational Guidance, being little explored its relationship with Rural Education. A documentary analysis and a content analysis of Public Policies were carried out, which revealed that Socio-Occupational Guidance is vital in the life projects of rural youth, as well as the role of the School Counselor in the process. This reflection article focuses on the functions that the School Counselor should develop in the Socio-Occupational Guidance projects in rural educational contexts, from the leadership of the process, the accompaniment to the different educational actors, the counseling to parents and students, and the articulation of the actions proposals by the educational community. These first conclusions open the field of research on School Guidance in Rural Education; however, future research should aim at knowing the perception of School Guidance Counselors in rural contexts and their role in educational management.
