In some countries, young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of taking a gap year before starting university
Nowadays, it is increasingly becoming the trend to take a
break
from studying study
for a year after completing school
because of work
, or travel. Though it has some bad effects on his career, the positive outcomes are more.
If a student takes a break
from his study
after school
, he will lose the continuity of the study
. As a result
, if he comes after completing this
intentional break
he might not get the proper flow of study
. Moreover
, it is seen that they are not continuing the study
as they are not getting interested in it after taking the break
. It, however
, is the toughest task for them to become regular in education. Even, they never go for higher studies
. For example
, most students in poor countries start work
after completing school
, but never back to their studies
.
On the other hand
, there are many advantages of taking breaks between studies
. They give them the opportunity to the pupils for earning money and experience, which are crucial for their study
and work
. If they go on different tours, they can gather knowledge of different cultures, as well as
get the opportunity to learn different updated systems, which might be helpful for their career. If they take the gap for work
, they can earn money, which will helpful for them to invest in their next studies
and also
gather knowledge on different modern systems, which might helpful for them to make the decision of subject choice in the university. Finally
, they can take advantage of choosing their own career according to
the demands of the advanced world. For instance
, students from developed countries are taking these advantages, and continuing their studies
.
In conclusion, it can be said that although
there are some demerits, such
as loss of continuity and dropping out from higher study
, or taking a break
between completing school
and starting university, the merits, like earning money and choosing a desirable subject, are higher. Therefore
, I believe in taking breaks between studies
