Programs are offered in all Maryland jurisdictions and provide classes for English language learners and adults who are interested in improving basic skills in reading, writing, and math, or who want to earn a high school diploma through the GED tests or the Maryland National External Diploma Program (NEDP). Successful completers of both GED and NEDP programs earn a Maryland High School Diploma.
