Nine Tenths Mentoring Programme equips Grade 12 learners in participating paying schools with the tools they need to navigate their final year of high school, and reach their maximum potential.

The programme involves mentorship bewteen a Rhodes University student volunteer and a Matric learner mentee. Through a series of nine guided and structured contact sessions, each learner receives personalised attention from their mentor. 

These mentors undergo comprehensive training via an Rhodes University accredited short course. This rigorous qualification demands an exceptional commitment, with participants devoting over 100 hours of dedicated effort.

Annually, the programme sees about 100 student volunteers qualifying as mentors. This accomplishment stands as a testament to the unwavering dedication to the program and its vital role in revitalising the educational landscape of Makhanda.

The programme celebrated the graduation of its 2016 inaugural cohort of mentees - 12 undergraduate and 10 postgraduate in 2021. The contributions of the Nine Tenths Matric Mentoring programme have been recognised internationally and it received the Tallories Network MacJannet Award for Global Citizenship in 2021.
