0 a year between leaving school and starting university that is usually spent travelling or working: --
We have also failed to mention the group of people who take a gap year between higher education and entering employment.
I would be interested to see the drop-out rates and course-change rates for those who have taken a gap year.
But that whole essence of adventure is a very important part of a gap year.
I know students who have taken a gap year between years of their course.
I should like to see increasing links between gap year provision and more mature, experienced higher education applicants.
However, there is no real disagreement about the value of the gap year or the year out.
They would then know that they will benefit from their gap year activities, and so will other people.
I want to know the reason for that gap year.
