In the article “New Test Causing Fewer Texans to Get GEDs,” Sophia Bollag explains a new dilemma causing many Texans problems. For those without formal education, it appears that there is a new, more expensive, more challenging AND less accessible test to receive a GED in Texas. When analyzing who would need a GED and why they would need one, this doesn’t sit well with them. From the changes, there is a 45% decrease in the amount of people taking the test as well as only 30% of those people taking the test actually passing. That comes out to a whopping 83.5% LESS people receiving a GED from 2012 to 2014! Tsk tsk, Texas….
