  3. Foster a culture of self-direction and self-awareness among students, by providing them with the necessary tools and resources to improve their decision-making and problem-solving skills.
  4. Promote positive changes in student behavior and attitudes towards their culture, community, and society, by providing them with culturally-sensitive guidance and counselling services that help them to develop their leadership and interpersonal skills.
