Translation is not a problem, either. We need to serve those most in need. Also, Learners are being told that they need a test that they do not, in fact, need. I also see it as respectful to the learner if we can tell him that the diploma from his native country is perfectly good. We can also advise him of the advantages of a GED, especially as they pertain to his goals.
Most learners work full time, and preparing for an unnecessary test costs time and money.
I have a lot of experience with this, and I feel that the final solution is to tell the program to advise their intake people that a GED is often not necessary, and that they must give priority to those most in need. I have already contacted many colleges and universities, and several licensing boards. I had hoped, however, that there were some more comprehensive source for this information. My main goal is to treat learners carefully, and to serve priority populations first, with limited resources. 14 AM Please respond to nifl-esl You might ask GED Testing Service about this.
