Gap In Education or Gap Year Affidavit

The legend Nelson Mandela had once said that education is the most powerful weapon that can be used to change the world. And those famous words still ring true and shall continue to do so for time immemorial. The most beautiful part of any form of learning is that nobody can steal it from you. What you have learnt or imbibed in the form of education shall always remain with you even when everything else fades out. A person without the necessary education is hollow, he/she is like a structure without its basic essential foundation.

What Is An Affidavit For Gap In Education?

As the name suggests, an affidavit for gap in education lays down the reasons as to why there was a gap in your regular education. This gap needs to be uncalled for, and should not have occurred in the ordinary course of things. A gap year can also be understood as a gap or break taken from academics to pursue other things, for eg: a job, travelling, photography, pursuing any hobbies whatsoever or maybe taking a year or two off to prepare for entrance exams for admissions to prestigious colleges in the country. Well, there are also times when people have academic gaps because of financial constraints at home, which caused hindrance in pursuing studies.
