Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) refers to the structured assessment and granting of academic credits, allowing students to receive credit for learning they acquired before. This learning encompasses both formal and informal knowledge and skills acquired beyond secondary school. Students can undergo an evaluation of their knowledge and skills, aligning them with the standards set in provincial curriculum policies, to earn credits for their high school diploma. The PLAR process comprises two main parts: "challenge" and "equivalency."
