What is National GED^® Day?

At GED Testing Service, we believe in equal opportunities for everyone to pursue their college and career dreams, regardless of background or life circumstances. The GED high school credential has opened doors for over 21 million graduates over the years! 

National GED Day is a time to reflect on the hard work and dedication of GED learners, educators, graduates, and everyone who supports them throughout their educational journey. It’s a day to celebrate GED achievements and the brighter futures that come through education.  

“The GED is much more than a test – it’s an entire program that equips learners for success in education and in life, building knowledge and confidence for a brighter, more equitable future for all!”

– Vicki Greene, President of GED Testing Service and SVP of Americas for Pearson’s Workforce Skills Division
