Inclusion on the way to Europe

There is a saying that the best way to learn something is to teach it. At schools across the world, students become better learners as they take the role of teachers and mentors to younger children. Peer tutoring is also valuable because students can often forge stronger bonds with other students than with adults and are more easily able to develop interest and motivation in younger learners. While there are some problems with this approach including the fact that not all students can be good teachers and also the quality of instruction may not be as high as desired, still there are a lot of advantages to peer tutoring as set forth by University of Western Australia below:

• It involves students directly in the teaching and learning process;

• The act of teaching others enhances student's own learning;

• It encourages collaboration between learners;

• It can be viewed as a strategy for dealing with individual differences in the classroom.
