Okla. Stat. tit. 57, § 57-510.7: High school equivalency development – Duties of

Department of Corrections.

A. The Department of Corrections shall establish a program to

ensure that inmates have an opportunity to achieve at least a high

school equivalency development level of proficiency in reading,

writing and computation skills, to the extent resources are

available. The provisions of this subsection shall apply to all

inmates in the custody of the Department of Corrections, except

those inmates identified and documented, through the testing

requirements provided in subsection B of this section, to be

incapable of benefiting from education programs, and except those

inmates who have already achieved a general educational development

level of proficiency in reading, writing and computation skills.

B. The Department of Corrections, in fulfilling its duty to

assess the educational and training needs of an inmate as part of

the assessment and reception process required by Section 530.1 of

this title, shall administer an examination to determine the

educational proficiency level of the inmate, the existence of any

learning disabilities, and any other factors relevant to determining

if the inmate is capable of achieving the educational proficiency

level established in subsection A of this section and if so, to

determine the type of education programs necessary to bring the

inmate to the high school equivalency development level of

proficiency.
