Introduction

Mentoring through generations. If they were present, our ancestors would find the world changed and perished. Each generation builds its conveniences. The concept of a “generation gap” raises questions about the preparation of the next generation. Among three or four generations coexisting, the one with more responsibility and socio-economic power leads. This supposed leading generation often sees the younger ones as mere children, given the psychological and biological differences among them. We need to rethink: How can we guide minors toward effective change-making? What education can prepare them for problem-solving?

Worries and Fears of Parallel Generations  

Each generation’s maturity comes with worries. The current generation tries to implement changes while worrying about future norms. Generation Y (born between 1981-1996) faces challenges with older and younger generations. Cooperating with inexperienced youth is indeed necessary. Failing to do so delays inclusive empowerment. If Generation Y’s inclusiveness rate was 31% in their teens, it needs to reach 51% soon. Education at all levels can reduce generational self-limitation. This involves the next generation in contemporary issues while respecting minors’ rights.

Improving Life Conditions  

Generation Z, growing up with smartphones, has easy access to a great deal of information. Generation Alpha (2010-2024) lives in a highly digital world. For better problem-solving, Generation Y must prepare them for positive change. No generation can find permanent solutions for a dynamic world. Changes fit each generation’s time. Leading generations must adapt with the hope of perpetual improvement.

Education’s Rotating Accountability 

Education is broad. Empowering future generations Z, Alpha, and Beta (2025-2039) involves mentorship, opportunities, mental health support, environmental awareness, technological skills, civic engagement, and spiritual conscience. Complementarity and compromise among generations can be established to reduce the natural conflicts between them.

Conclusion

Updated educational curriculum. Adults must rethink the content and quality of education for today’s youth. We expect responsible generations to tackle environmental, socio-economic, and political problems. Mentor-generations must be ready, open, and adaptive. Survival change is necessary as the world evolves. Major generations must be resilient to change. Do African teachers and infrastructure respond to the dynamic technological, environmental, and socio-political environment?
