Abstract
Mentorship in educational administration is a critical strategy for professional growth, leadership development, and institutional success. In a complex and evolving educational landscape, mentorship provides essential support, guidance, and practical knowledge that bridge the gap between theory and practice. This paper examines the roles, benefits, and challenges of mentorship in fostering effective educational leaders. Key themes include the nurturing of professional skills, the reduction of isolation among new administrators, and the role of mentors in creating a collaborative, trust-based leadership environment. Effective mentorship programs strengthen professional confidence, decision-making, and organizational cohesion. Recommendations focus on institutional investments in structured mentorship programs, mentor training, and the adoption of flexible frameworks to ensure sustainable success. The study underscores mentorship as a transformative practice essential for building resilient educational leadership.
