the world of work and NOT for college.

2000 It was recognized that there were some
OSY interested in going to college. To
address their learning needs, an
Academic-focused Bridging Curriculum
was developed and was viewed as a
supplement to the ALS Curriculum.
2002 The ALS Curriculum was revised based
on the results of external and internal
evaluations of the ALS.

2004 The concept of having “core

competencies” was proposed by the

Bureau of Alternative Learning System
(BALS).

What is alternative learning system

or ALS?


It is a parallel learning system in the
ADULT EDUCATION
SUCCESS STORIES
NEW CURRICULUM
ALS PROGRAMS
Philippines that provides a practical
option to the existing formal
instruction. When one does not have
or cannot access formal education in
schools, ALS is an alternate or
substitute. ALS includes both the
nonformal and informal sources of
knowledge and skills.
Why is there a need for Alternative
Learning System in the Philippines?

Many Filipinos do not have a chance to

attend and finish basic education (Grades

SUCCESS STORIES

ALS PROGRAMS
1-6 and Year 1-4) due to many reasons.
Some drop out from schools while some
do not have schools in their communities.
Since every Filipino has a right to free basic
education, the Government set-up ALS to
provide all Filipinos the chance to have
access to and complete basic education in
a mode that fits their distinct situations
and needs.
What is the basis of ALS implementation
in the Philippines?

• The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides for the
recognition and promotion of other forms of education

other than formal education. Article XIV, Section 2,
ADULT EDUCATION

Paragraph (1) declares that the State shall establish,

maintain and support a complete, adequate and integrated
system of education relevant to the needs of the people and
society; and paragraph (4) concisely encourages nonformal,
informal and indigenous learning systems as well as self-
learning, independent and out-of-school study programs
particularly those that respond to community needs.
• The Governance Act for Basic Education otherwise known

as the Republic Act 9155 stipulates the establishment of the
Alternative Learning System (ALS) to provide out-of-school
children, youth an adults population with basic education
How does ALS work?
