Adolescence are a period of development that is vulnerable to problems and often makes teens unable to control emotions. No exception for adolescents who are studying high school. Problems that do not need to be resolved immediately and bigger problems will arise later on. Many methods of solving students' problems are carried out in a conventional manner which takes time and costly. Therefore, teacher guidance and career guidance at school use the problem checklist method to identify student problems. One thing that promises to improve accuracy with time to identify problems by building information systems using intelligent technology such as machine learning. Machine learning offers sophisticated techniques built by automatic classification that can be utilized by students and teachers to improve accuracy and efficiency in identification. This article discusses issues related to problems faced by senior high school students and proposes a knowledge-based users (rules) machine learning to match the problems and alternative solutions. This system can be used by school counsellors to help students solving their problems and the students to access themselves without having to meet the school counsellor. The results of this research indicate that information system developed based on rule-based machine learning offer a student problem identification which is more accurate, faster, can be done anytime and anywhere, and requires less cost compared to existing conventional methods. Analysis of machine learning with rule-based models using WEKA gives 100% accuracy.

An analytical summary of questionnaire responses received from the selected SHS students showed that due to limited career assessment processes, SHS students in Accra, Ghana arbitrary select tertiary programmes without realizing how such selections can affect their future careers.

This paper describes an experience in teaching Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to a group of high school students over an intense one-month period. In this work, we provide an outline of an AI course curriculum we designed for high school students and then evaluate its effectiveness by analyzing student's feedback and student outcomes. After closely observing students, evaluating their responses to our surveys, and analyzing their contribution to the course project, we identified some possible impediments in teaching AI to high school students and propose some measures to avoid them. These measures include employing a combination of objectivist and constructivist pedagogies, reviewing/introducing basic programming concepts at the beginning of the course, and addressing gender discrepancies throughout the course.

As an individual goes through Senior High School education, s/he encounters situations which require them to take appropriate educational, vocational and social decisions. This highlights the need for guidance and counselling services in learning institutions. Its importance cannot be overstated. Research has shown that young people think about careers within the context of life more than in terms of qualifications and training. This study explored the knowledge of senior high school students in the Agona East district, about career counselling and how career guidance has been of benefit to them. The qualitative approach of descriptive survey using the purposive sampling technique was adopted. The data gathered was analysed using two main themes consisting of several sub-themes. It emerged from the study that for each occupation, different interests, abilities, personality traits and professional values are required. The findings also revealed that career counselling helps students to link what they learn to their interests, capacities, aspirations, and match these with existing opportunities. Going forward, the study recommends that schools                    assist students to identify their interests and make them aware of the importance of academic qualifications in making career choices. It further recommends to policy makers; especially the government of Ghana, to reinforce Guidance and Counselling programmes in senior high                       schools.
