GED PROGRAM

OUTLINE

  • I would keep the program open for the long term, but with my educational system do the best possible to make sure everyone graduates under my plan.
  • Would keep it open for Immigrants as well.

PARAGRAPH

The GED program is a very important program. It allows people who have dropped out of school to get a diploma. This diploma is certainly not as good pay wise as a high school diploma, but certainly a good thing to have under the current system.

With my curriculum change I hope that it will make the use of the GED program as nonexistent as possible.

GED programs need to be funded and kept open for everyone that needs it. It is a small vital part of the economy.
