ABSTRACT
Schemes involving students as tutors and mentors are now in place in many countries, with numerous students, schoolchildren and teachers benefiting from the activity. The key task now is to build student tutoring and mentoring into the basic structures of academic institutions so that systems acquire a greater degree of stability. After a brief section of revision of matters addressed in the companion volume to this one, Students as Tutors and Mentors (Goodlad, 1995a), attention is given to ways in which the training that all student tutors and mentors require can become the focus of much fruitful academic work.
