Space age opportunity for school-leavers? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
gap year
'school-leavers?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'space age opportunity' is the wordplay.
'space' becomes 'gap' (gap is a kind of space).
'age opportunity' becomes 'year' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gap'+'year'='GAP YEAR'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gap year that I've seen before include "Student's break before university" , "Student's break between school and higher education" , "continuum of education now interrupted" , "student's time off" , "Student's chance to travel" .)
