Spanish term or phrase: lagunas formativas y solapamientos
On the subject of how the curriculum is structured, the university suggests coordinating subjects to avoid "lagunas formativas y solapamientos para que el Plan de Estudios forme un todo compacto y homogéno..."

Would I be right in thinking this means avoiding omissions and overlapping so the syllabus is compact and uniform?? I wonder is there another way to get around "lagunas" and "solapamientos"?
And why aren't there any good education glossaries on the Net??!!

Thanks in advance

Creo que en este contexto tu respuesta es la más acertada. Lo de "gaps" me ha parecido un poco coloquial para un catálogo de la facultad. Gracias por tu ayuda.

My sister is a teacher and she speaks about assuring their are no gaps in her teaching.

en un todo compacto y homogéno - I would say uniform and all encompassing.

Explanation:
I may be wrong but omission makes me think of not mentionning sth. leaving out seems to me stronger to express an exclusion.....
