More student than ever before are taking a gap-year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.
This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).
That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.
But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student had ship---young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,” he said.
参加空档年的学生比以往任何时候都多(间隔年) 在上大学之前。它过去被称为学校和大学之间的“休息年”。空档年现象的起源(起源) 从11月的入学考试到下一学年开始,牛津剑桥大学的申请者还有几个月的时间。
根据大学和学院招生服务局(UCAS)提供的大学入学统计数据,今年有25310名已被高等教育机构录取的学生推迟到明年入学。
这是一个创纪录的14.7%的学生人数增加了一个空档年。UCAS的Tony Higgins说,这些统计数据对高等教育中的每个人来说都是好消息。他说:“计划周密的休学一年的学生更有可能对自己选择的课程感到满意并完成学业。休学一学年的学生往往更成熟、更负责任。”。
但并不是每个人都快乐。全国学生联合会(NUS)主席欧文·詹姆斯(Owain James)认为,这一增长证明了学生有船——年轻人被迫在完成学业之前赚钱。他说:“新生们现在意识到,他们可能会背负高达15000英镑的债务离开大学。越来越多的学生利用空档年赚钱来支持他们的学位学习,这并不奇怪。新加坡国立大学的统计数据显示,超过40%的学生在学期间被迫工作,而在假期期间,这一数字增加到90%。”。
