Os servizos de orientación na educación infantil e primaria en Galicia: xénese, implantación e evolución

Abstract

We analyze the school counseling system in Galicia in early childhood and primary education taking into consideration the reasons that explain its peculiarities and describing the process of implementation and evolution of these services. The main reason to explain its design was the impulse of school counseling services essentially educational, preventive and integrated. Considering this, it was necessary to build inner school counseling services. The process of implementation was delayed and precarious. In 2008 the creation of shared school counseling departments significantly increased the number of these services. Recently, the policy of budget cuts in education is negatively influencing key conditions.
