The CAEC relates directly to Canada\u2019s education system and is comprised of five tests assessing reading, writing, mathematics, science and social science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tests provide opportunities for candidates to demonstrate skills in communication, information processing, problem-solving and critical thinking.
The Canadian GED testing series was more than 20 years old, and the decision to discontinue it was made by Pearson Vue, the company that administered the tests, because it could no longer support the outdated technology.
People interested in pursuing the new adult education credential are encouraged to contact a Nova Scotia School for Adult Learning provider near them to develop a personalized plan.
