Mentoring in Education

Paper Summary:

The paper explains what a mentoring system is and then goes on to show how it can be incorporated into the education system. The paper shows an example of a mentoring program that will be run in the summer holidays over a four-week period. The paper shows why it is necessary to run these type of programs, due to the general failure of the school system.

From the Paper:

"One reason that this proposal for mentoring is urgently needed is that reading and writing are not merely the foundation of education, but are required in adult life. The selected mentor(s) therefore must bring to bear that good reading (and understanding what is being read) is not merely to get a decent English grade in school, but that it is part of every job, every opportunity for advancement as they reach adulthood. This mentoring program, therefore, is not so much a "learning" seminar, as it is a means to motivate the students to reach their potential, both in and outside school."
