Eighteen-year-old Lauren Clark is a student, but she isn't at university yet. Instead she's taking a gap year.

'I decided not to start my maths course immediately. Instead I'm here in Ghana for six months. I'm teaching English and maths to school children. I'm also helping to build the school library. I'm so surprised I can actually do all of this. I'm developing qualities I didn't know I had. I'm more patient and polite – and I'm certainly not lazy here! I feel more responsible and I think I'm growing up.'

In Europe, taking a gap year is very common. Instead of heading straight to college after school, more and more students take a year off to travel, work, explore special interests or volunteer.

'Colleges find that students who made this choice are more confident and mature when they arrive and do better on their courses,' said Dr Edwin Chance, Rector of York University.
