Illinois is changing the name of the GED. A new state law aims to lift some of the stigmas about getting a GED instead of graduating traditionally. Illinois Community College Board spokesperson Matt Berry says starting on January 1st, it will be known as the state of Illinois High School Diploma.
Requirements will still be the same to pass it, but those who currently have a GED may get a replacement with the new name from their local Regional Office of Education.
