the BIG DEBATE: Should everyone take a gap year before starting university?

In the UK every year, almost 30,000 students take a gap year between finishing school and starting university.

I think a gap year is a good idea. When you leave school you have no idea about real life and you don't make the most of your time at university. A gap year helps to prepare you.

I disagree. It's much better to start university straight away. If you take a year off you forget how to write essays and it is difficult to go back to studying again.

A great gap year

Students taking a break from their studies spend their gap year in different ways. Some work, some travel and others combine the two.

South America

After doing her A-levels, Lynne Morgan saved up some money by working for six months. Then she got a place working at Camp America for a year. She had such a good time that she decided not to return to go to university. Instead she travelled to South America, working for an NGO in Mexico and then Guatemala. Today, Lynne is married to another voluntary worker and is living in Venezuela. 'I haven't had a university education, but I have no regrets.'

Bilingual

Jeremy Holden took a gap year before going to Bristol University to study Music and French. 'I wanted a break from studying. I went to France and got a job on a camp site. Then, when the season ended, I stayed on and worked in a bakery. I stayed in France for 14 months. When I started university my French was almost perfect! I'd also made lots of friends and felt more prepared for university life.'
