Abstract: Children will take over social roles now played by adults in societies in the nearest future. There is a substantial gap between what is learned in the classroom and the actual life context of students’ present and future world. Students’ Emotional Learning (SEL) which some term “education of the whole child or total child education is founded on the positive youth development which advocates the needs of youth to be addressed by building backgrounds or settings that encourage outcomes like school achievement, mutually sympathetic relationships with adults and peers, problem solving, and civic engagement just to mention a few. Evidence has shown that students are not sufficiently groomed for the outside world, which includes work by the education system, not only in developing countries but also that of the developed countries. Research on programmes centred on social and emotional learning indicates that a systematic process for promoting students’ social and emotional development is the mutual component among schools that report an increase in academic success, improved quality of relationships between educators and students, and a decrease in problem behaviour. School counsellors’ among other educators are particularly trained to undertake guidance and counselling in schools due to their knowledge, awareness  and skills that other school professionals may not have, they are thus called upon to help transform students through SEL competencies.
