Adult Basic Education
The provincial high school curriculum has undergone extensive changes over the past decade as, along with Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador has worked collaboratively on the development of an Atlantic Provinces Curriculum. New courses have been developed in all the core subject areas, and the majority of those are now implemented in the provincial senior high school system.
The Department of Education has recognized the need to develop new courses in the Adult Basic Education program in order to ensure that the program continues to reflect the provincial high school program (http://www.ed.gov.nl.ca/edu/adultlearning/abe.html).

Guidelines for Application of Graduation Requirements
Students can no longer graduate from ABE under any of the former graduation requirements. The ABE database is programmed to only allow students to graduate under the current graduation requirements as stated in the chart on the next page.
The Department of Education may consider special circumstances to allow a student to graduate under either the 1990 or 1995 graduation requirements, but this will be done on an individual basis. Applications for such consideration should be submitted to Department of Education’s Program Specialist for ABE, Levels II/III.
