Over the last three weeks, I have engaged in several events that have left me piqued by the value of mentorship. First was a discussion, as part of some assignment on sexual and reproductive health rights. In the process, I listened to interventions about career and guidance clubs in schools.

A lot of assessment of schools focuses on subjects and performance in exams, an issue that this column highlighted last week. However, the future of children is based on not just their performance in exams but also their character formation and career choices.
