Editor,

Career guidance is a very important tool in as far as developing the young generation is concerned. We should start with the teachers. As a teacher, you are as well a role model.

A guide, a parent unfortunately as is the case with many teachers, always ignores the career guidance part and only concentrates on the teaching aspect, especially in Rwandan schools where there is an abject lack of career guidance.

These learners grow up without a major understanding of their abilities as well as the career opportunities available to them.

And this does not really cost a lot of money to put in place, one of the course units every teacher goes through during their training is career guidance and counseling, so the teachers already have these skills and they just need to give it more importance.
