Abstract :
In Israel, school counseling was originally
incorporated into the curriculum in the 1960s. The
primary responsibilities of the school counselor in Israel
are counseling, consultation,coordination, and execution
of guidance programs (Nations, 2020). These
responsibilitieswere directly taken from the rationale and
purpose of the school counseling program as it was
published in the 1960s by the "American School
Counselling Association" and the "American Personnel
and Guidance Association." Two decades after the
program's inception, the first school counselors to be
employed in the Arab educational system in Israel started
to show up at the beginning of the 1980s.School counselors impact how well Arab students
are integrated into higher education. Interventions in
higher education also aim to support and inform Arab
students to help them make informed decisions regarding
their personal, higher education integration, andsocial
lives (Easterbrook & Hadden, 2020). Thus, this study
aimed to ascertain whether the school counselor's
function has any bearing on student success and to assist
Arab students who wish to enroll in higher education in
Israel. The study used a mixed-methodsapproach to find
answers to the following questions: What specific role
does the school counselor play in helping Arab students in
Israel integrate into higher education? Also, isthere any
real impact on the role played by school counselors in the
integration of Arab students into higher education? The
study's findings revealed that students overwhelmingly
agreed that the school counselor's contributions to
integrating Arab students into higher education in Israel
included higher education guidance and counseling,
higher education career goal identification, the
organization of higher education career days and
conferences, and administration of the occupational
interest inventory.
Additionally, Arab students asserted that the school
counselor's roles affect their higher education career
decisions. Additionally, there was a favorable relationship
between the counselor's function and how it affected Arab
students' college integration. To promote Arab students'
absorption into higher education, it is advised that
frequent intervention activities be offered.
