The document discusses taking a gap year in Ukraine. It explains that Ukrainian students can take a gap year from their secondary or vocational school for medical reasons, family problems, or disasters. To take a gap year, the student must get approval from the head of their educational institution and provide documentation justifying their reason for needing time off from school. Gap years can provide students opportunities to address health or other personal issues, prepare for further education, or take a break from studying. However, missing an academic year could put students behind in their studies.
