Graduates to get gap-year money


The government is to pay for graduates struggling to get a job to go on trips abroad, The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has confirmed.

It said the scheme will be launched with expedition company Raleigh International next week.

It will pay for 500 young people under the age of 24 to travel to places such as Costa Rica and India to take part in projects such as building schools.

(is there any difference between a gap year and a 52 week holiday?)

I may become a student, at least id exist and be a student, unlike the 100,000 who come here and vanish on student visas...
