Adult Basic Education

The State Board is responsible for administering Mississippi's Adult Basic Education Program. This program is designed to enable adults to acquire the basic education skills necessary for functional literacy; provide adults with sufficient basic education to enable them to benefit from job training and retaining programs and to retain productive employment so that they might more fully enjoy the benefits and responsibilities of citizenship; and enable adults who desire to continue their education to at least the level of completion of secondary school.

General Educational Development

The Tests of General Educational Development (GED) are developed and administered by the GED Testing Service of the American Council on Education. Each year they provide close to one million adults with the chance to earn a certificate or diploma that is widely recognized as the equivalent of a high school diploma. Since 1942, when the GED program began, more than 12 million adults have earned GED credentials. Among their names are some you may recognize, such as Bill Cosby, Waylon Jennings, Mary Lou Retton, and Dave Thomas.
