One of the most important features between Finnish and Kazakhstan School is a counselling in School. During the 10-th week we had a lecture with Paivi Pukikila. She was a counsellor at high School. At the moment Paivi works at HAMK University of Applied Sciences.  The first day was very interesting and understandable. At the beginning she represents for us a presentation about "Study counselling in Finland".  I illustrated a picture of Study counselling in Finland generally.
OK, returning for the main question, let  try to determine what is the counselling.  The main thing about "study counselling " are giving time, attention and respect. It means counsellor should pay attention for student. I understood, that counselling are not giving answers and it is not a therapy. 
Usually, counsellor does not teach. Paivi said that one of reason of  good result of PISA is the Finnish counselling system. The School needs the counsellor. The teacher does not have a  time to counselling students in their important steps of a School life. That is why the counselling is important for students life. 
The most important is a Personal study. The teacher create the Personal Study with  student, which includes future plan of student. 
Also, Career counselling is a big part of counselling. It means student do beforehand own projects  for future. 
The main thing about counselling is like this: students have to find their ability or insparition by themselves. A role of the teacher is to direct, pay attention for the student.
