  On Wednesday, the Indiana State Board of Education unanimously approved the final draft of new high school diploma requirements for Hoosier students. The new requirements

The Indiana State Board of Education has approved changes to high school diploma requirements, aiming to better prepare students for post-graduation life. The new guidelines, effective from the class of 2029, include the introduction of a new "GPS Diploma" which focuses on employability skills, civic engagement, and communication. This diploma will replace the existing Core 40, Academic Honors, and Technical Honors diplomas. Key changes involve reducing the number of required credits from 40 to 20, with an emphasis on flexibility allowing students to tailor their education to their future goals. Additionally, there will be a mandatory financial literacy course, and schools must offer work-based learning opportunities. These modifications reflect a shift towards competency-based education, where students can demonstrate proficiency in various skills rather than just accumulating credits.
