The launch of this mentoring initiative involved four Ministers and it even captured the attention of the leading UK tabloid, the Sun, which featured it in an editorial. Gordon Brown’s bid to bring mentoring to Britain should be applauded. Not all children have the loving support of parents. Many do not. The idea of mentoring is for successful adults to spend time encouraging children— raising their sights and lifting their ambitions. It has worked across America; it can work here. It is interesting that Brown is involving himself in social and education issues.
Factors behind growth Freedman attributes the popularity of mentoring in America to three main factors (1992). The first was the focus in the media on the increasing isolation of young people from caring adult attention, which was deemed responsible for the lack of opportunity, exclusion (see Chapter 6) and poor quality of life for young people, and potentially serious problems of crime and disorder for society. The second factor was the trend towards volunteering and charitable giving among a section of the socially concerned middle class, particularly those ‘baby boomers’ whose formative years had been around the 1960s.
According to Goodlad (1995) the key differences are that tutoring focuses on subject learning, usually takes place in the classroom, involves groups of tutees and generally lasts a few weeks. Mentoring, in contrast, concentrates on ‘life skills’, often occurs outside the classroom, is one-to-one and lasts for several months or years. Clearly, where mentoring focuses on subject learning, is relatively short term and involves a group, then this sharp distinction becomes blurred. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES A review of the literature and an examination of programme objectives in many different mentoring programmes indicate that there are three main aims of student mentoring.
