Texas has a large and growing population of adults who do not have a high school diploma or something equivalent. Recent changes to the national GED test and the introduction of additional exams in Texas have potentially exacerbated the problem. This report presents information derived from a community assessment of the Austin and San Antonio regions that looked closely at how programs operate and how they are helping students prepare for high school equivalency exams. Based on that analysis, the report concludes with a set of recommendations for state policymakers and business leaders.
