ALBERTANS WITHOUT HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS CAN NOW REGISTER FOR NEW CREDENTIAL REPLACING GED
Starting on Wednesday, the Alberta government says residents of the province who do not have high school diplomas can begin registering for the new adult education credential that is replacing the General Educational Development (GED) credential.
In replacing GED, the provincial government says the new Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC) will ensure material being learned by those who register to get it “accurately reflects the needs of adults and the diverse cultures and perspectives in Canada, including material that is relevant for Indigenous, francophone and multicultural communities.”
In a news release issued Tuesday, the Alberta government noted that the CAEC was developed “in collaboration with eight provinces and territories, who selected Alberta’s government to lead based on Alberta’s expertise in developing and administering assessments, such as Provincial Achievement Tests and Diploma Exams.”
