The Street Value of the GED Diploma.

Boesel, David

Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n1 p65-66,68,96 Sep 1998

Human capital investment, in the form of education and training, is the key to improving labor market outcomes for high school leavers. GED certification provides an opportunity for education and training, but is no substitute for it. The GED credential is only a starting point. GED holders are not equivalent to high school graduates. (MLH)
