Economy demands more educated workforce, more dropouts get GED
(AP) With the economy demanding a more
educated workforce, more dropouts are ob
taining GEDs (general equivalency diplomas)
according to a survey released Monday by the
testing program.
The half million GED recipients in 1999 re
main, however, a tiny fraction of the more than
45 million Americans who never finished high
school. About one in seven high school diplo
mas issued each year is a GED.
Last year, 506,155 adults in the United
States and affiliated islands like Puerto Rico
and Guam received a GED, according to the
GED Testing Service. That figure was a slight
4 percent — from 1998, when 490,833
adults passed.
The non-profit GED service is run by the
American Council on Education, sponsor of the
testing program. ACE, based in Washington,
represents 1,800 higher education institutions,
organizations and companies.
Years ago, economic booms saw a decline in
GED takers. Not now.
"We're finding more and more people real
ize they have to have some kind of certifica
tion," said Fred Edwards, a GED Testing Ser
vice official.
The record for the 58-year-old program re
mains 1996. That year 524,535 U.S.
GEDs.
The first General Educational Develo
diplomas were offered in 1942 to Amerii
who interrupted high school to serveim
War II. The tests went civilian in 194i.
About 70 percent of test-takers pass
