The theme of our statewide education conference made it clear that we must Leave No Child Behind. This means preparing Indiana students to the best of our abilities so that they may be well prepared to meet the challenges of adult life. We must continue to support the efforts of members of the Class of 2000 to meet the GQE requirement. For those who are not able to meet the GQE requirement at this time, it is important that they know the options that are available to them. For some students, extra time may be the answer to meeting the GQE requirement.
Students can continue their high school education.
If students choose to leave high school, they may want to take advantage of adult education courses. Students can continue to retake the GQE when it is offered to other students each fall and spring. These figures are estimates based on Grade 10 students testing in Fall 1997, Grade 11 students testing in Fall 1998 and Spring 1999, and students testing in Fall 1999. This number is based upon the most current information available about the Class of 2000. Without individual student identification numbers, we must estimate the status of the Class of 2000.
