| Individuals who have not completed their high school education may earn an Ohio High School Equivalence Diploma by taking and passing the GED (General Educational Development) Test sponsored by the Ohio Department of Education. Most employers, technical schools, apprenticeship training programs, and colleges will accept this diploma in place of a high school diploma. The test covers the academic areas of language arts-writing (including a written essay), social studies, science, language arts-reading (literature), and mathematics. | |
