Background of the Study
Mentorship programs in secondary schools play a crucial role in guiding students through their academic and personal development. Traditional mentorship programs rely on in-person meetings and may face challenges such as scheduling conflicts, limited mentor availability, and geographical constraints. The advent of cloud-based platforms presents an opportunity to expand mentorship programs by providing a digital platform for students and mentors to connect, interact, and collaborate in a more flexible and efficient manner.
In Zaria Local Government Area, Kaduna State, secondary schools may face difficulties in implementing and sustaining effective mentorship programs due to these limitations. A cloud-based student mentorship platform would enable students to access mentorship resources, connect with mentors online, and engage in discussions and activities that foster personal and academic growth. This study aims to explore the feasibility, benefits, and challenges of implementing a cloud-based mentorship platform in secondary schools in Zaria.
Statement of the Problem
Secondary schools in Zaria Local Government Area often struggle with providing consistent mentorship due to time constraints, logistical challenges, and limited access to qualified mentors. Students may not have sufficient opportunities to engage in meaningful discussions with mentors who can guide their academic and career choices. A cloud-based mentorship platform could address these challenges by providing a digital space where students can connect with mentors, access resources, and engage in virtual meetings. However, the effectiveness and feasibility of such a platform in Zaria have not been fully explored.
