From Lesson 323:Verbal noun governance·Arabic (Modern Standard)

Questions & Answers about لا يزال توجيه المعلم طلابه مهما.

Why is طلابه in the accusative case rather than being part of the idafa?
This showcases the syntactic power of the verbal noun (masdar). The word توجيه (guiding) acts like a verb here. While it forms an idafa with its logical subject (المعلم), it directly governs its logical object (طلاب), putting it in the accusative case (mansub) just like a regular active verb would.
If the teacher is the one doing the guiding, why is المعلم in the genitive case?
When a verbal noun like توجيه takes its logical subject, they combine into an idafa (genitive construct). Because المعلم is the second term of this idafa, it must take the genitive case (majrur) as the grammatical possessor, even though it is the doer of the action.
What causes مهما to be in the accusative case here?
The verb لا يزال (continues to be) is a sister of Kana. These verbs require their grammatical subject to be nominative and their predicate to be in the accusative case (mansub). Since مهما is the predicate completing the thought of what the guiding continues to be, it takes the accusative ending.
Could we change the word order to put the students before the teacher?
No, you cannot. When a verbal noun governs both a logical subject and a direct object, the standard rule is to form the idafa with the subject first. The strict order is Verbal Noun + Logical Subject (in genitive) + Direct Object (in accusative).
