In this episode, we examine the potential of the GED exam as an alternative to traditional high school diplomas, particularly in the context of pandemic-related disruptions and evolving educational landscapes.
We talk about the GED exam’s rigor, alignment with high school graduation standards, and potential for college credit. The passing standards of the four GED modules are set at such a high level that some 40 percent of all high school grads would not be able to pass the exam on their first try.

We also discuss how age restrictions should be eliminated, making the GED test accessible to any student to demonstrate proficiency at the high school level. This would benefit both high-achieving students seeking early college enrollment and students facing challenges in traditional school settings.
We also address opposing arguments, such as that the GED diploma is sometimes viewed as inferior to a traditional diploma and that GED holders face employment and income disparities.

Removing barriers to GED access can level the playing field for disadvantaged students and offer a valuable pathway for all. Expanding access to the GED exam can benefit both individual students and society as a whole. By recognizing the GED as a valid indicator of high school-level competency, we can empower students to pursue their educational and career goals, regardless of their circumstances.
