Abstract

Personal social Health Guidance is an area of study that focuses on how individuals interact with one another and uses self- awareness to acquire skills that facilitate decision-making in life. It involves understanding one’s circumstances, recognizing available opportunities, characteristics and perspective that the environment offers. In the educational sector, having access to professionals’ guidance is crucial, for students, teachers and parents or guardians, especially in official schools. Personal social Health Guidance has areas such as: social and educational personnel, fundamental for addressing problems that students face starting from elementary school.

These factors inspired as motivation to carry out this research which general objective is to analyze the guidance service provided in elementary education and how they relate to promoting educational equity and inclusion in some schools in Panama Oeste. To achieve this, the current regulations that support the educational guidance service in elementary schools are reviewed, along with gathering the opinion of school principals and teachers of educational centers regarding said service.

The study is carried out using an intentional non- probability sample from two schools in the Educational Region of Panama Oeste, primarily attended by children from rural areas. It presents findings on the perception of teachers and school principals regarding the access that students have in said service. It also examines the most common social and economic situations that arise most frequently and that justify the need of focusing educational policies that improve inclusion and equity, especially in rural areas.
