Do teachers in adult basic education programs have to be Highly Qualified?
An adult basic education instructor is only required to provide education that will give an out-of-school adult a chance to receive a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) prepatory assistance. These instructors need to possess credentials for teaching, but do not have the same requirements as other instructors, since the goal is to obtain a GED.
Some adult basic education instructors assist with literacy, learning basic life skills such as stocks and bank statements, as well as improving writing skills or communication for ESL students.
