I have encountered the refugee problem often--a refugee who cannot get his
records.
Yes, I am deciding that we must check out all cases of those who want to
attend colleges or universities, or obtain licensing.

Please respond to

This is more an aside than an answer, but some years back I had two foreign
students who discovered that the US colleges of their choice would not
accept their high school diplomas and so did need a GED to gain entrance to
college in the US. I don't recall whether getting permission for them to
take it was an issue or not, so at least in that state it probably wasn't.
Perhaps things have changed, but the answer might be that students with a
high school diploma from another country don't usually need a GED, however
they should check with the college of their choice. We also had a political
refugee who couldn't get records and transcripts from his country of origin
so had to take the GED to get into college. (He felt oppressed about this,
but he scored so high that he got a good scholarship from the college that
previously wouldn't accept him!) Karen Jones

I am trying to give a program some guidelines on which potential GED
learners really need the GED certificate.
For example, if a student has his high school diploma from a foreign
country, he does not need a GED to enter college in the US; if an engineer
from a foreign country wants a license here, he does not need a GED--he
needs to take the licensing exam in English, and perhaps to fulfill some
other requirements.
However, if a learner does not have a high school diploma from any country,
he needs GED to go to college, for employment, etc.
Is there any summary of helpful information, to assist programs in
determining if a learner needs the GED certificate, to meet his goals?
