I'm just back from vacation and was excited to read the rich exchange of
information and resources on the GED and postsecondary education that has
just taken place on the list. 

For more data on the GED, try this link, which takes you to research by John
Tyler, who has focused on the GED for many years:
http://www.ncsall.net/?id=652#tyler (a newer set of findings, on the impact
of the GED on the economic lives of ex-offenders, will be featured in the
next issue of FOB, available the beginning of September).

Many of John Tyler's findings are also presented in "Focus on Basics"
articles on the GED. Links for these can be found at
http://www.ncsall.net/index.php?id=61. 

If anyone has been doing research on the GED, perhaps as part of graduate
studies, please share them with us.
