If you really want me to, I can dig it out from my accumulation of statistical junk for when I have to convince someone of the importance of the GED. II am sure that a web search will show some studies indicating the same. Also, employers are more likely to hire GED completers and gaining admissions to higher ed is easier with a GED. Andres >>> alcdgg@langate.gsu.edu 07/11/03 12:15PM >>> An adult learner has emailed me asking me for anything that she can read that can show her the value of getting a GED. I would like to pose her question to the group. Do you know of anything that she can look at that shows the value of getting a GED? If you know of something, please also indicate if it is written at an advanced literacy level, or at an easier to read level.
