system, since independence. Hence its improvement has become a major objective, in order to develop skills of choice making
among high school students in the skill region. The purpose of this study is to conduct an analysis of the school guidance
process in Morocco the latter cam be achieved by an analysis of the practices of the school guidance practices counselors
and the school guidance process implemented in high school.
In this article, we are interested in guidance counselors who are responsible for guidance in Moroccan public schools (high
schools); and who are responsible for helping the student to conduct his own reflection on the direction she wishes to give to
his life, as well as their opinions on the process of educational guidance.
Our research is based on an analysis of the results of a questionnaire for school guidance counselors of public institutions
located in Casablanca - Settat region (Morocco) during the 2017-2018 school year.
It was preceded by a series of interviews with guidance counselors, educational inspectors, directors of provincial centers for
educational and vocational guidance, as well as with other stakeholders in the field of education for accuracy.
Terminology and the calibration of the topics covered. Our study allowed us to discover very important results on guidance
counselor practices in the process of student guidance and their influence on the student’s school career. These results have
shown that the current conditions in Moroccan schools do not facilitate the best practice of the school guidance process by
the counselor to help students make the right decisions, to orient himself better and to choose the path that suits him.
