Today, the educational process is characterized by many features, but it also suffers from many problems, especially in developing countries. The process of mentoring can be traced back to when man began to exist, Kochhar (2011). Systematic career guidance was started between 1890 and 1905 by Frank Parsons, who is known as the father of career guidance. Most of the students in secondary level schools face such problems so these problems can be solved easily with the guidance of teachers. The purpose of this research is to identify the main issue teacher training needs in secondary schools and the role of management in this. The study was limited by limited time, expertise, resources and respondents. This research is inspired by developmental theory and the design we have used in our research is descriptive with qualitative paradigm. Data were collected through a structured interview protocol of a prescribed questionnaire. A face-to-face interview protocol was used as a data collection tool. Data were analyzed through a thematic approach. Findings from this study suggested that since the teacher is in direct and omnidirectional contact with the students, if he is used directly for the purpose of guidance, it will be better for the students.
