ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM

(ALS) PROGRAM

ALS is a free education program developed by the Department of Education (DepEd) back in 1997.  “Intensifying and expanding the ALS will enable those not reached by the formal system to complete basic education or acquire lifelong learning.” (Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022) This program is seen to benefit mostly those that cannot fit into the formal school system like people with special needs, indigenous peoples, out-of-school children and youth, and adult learners who wish to complete the elementary and junior high school levels. The program provides appropriate educational interventions that embraces an inclusive approach to learning bringing together formal, non-formal and informal sources of knowledge and skills.
