What is the Alternative Learning System or ALS is All About What is the Alternative Learning System or ALS It is said that education is the best legacy that parents can provide to their children. But not all parents have the capability to send their children to school. WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM (ALS)? ALS stands for Alternative Learning System. It is a free education program in the Philippines implemented by the Department of Education (DepEd) through its Bureau of Alternative Learning System (BALS). Based on the signed law, the ALS is more conducive to a non-traditional student's academic success as it takes into consideration their specific needs and concerns. It provides them with specialized programs and alternative education approaches and strategies which they otherwise would not be able to receive within the formal learning system. The main thrust of the research Developing a Scheme of Action for Enhanced Alternative Learning System was to measured and assessed the Alternative Learning System in the Department of Education, Talisay City Division for the improvement of the.
UNESCO Office, Jakarta in collaboration with the Philippines' Department of Education (DepEd) and the Asia Pacific College (APC) organized the second workshop on a series of eight workshops in the Development of the Alternative Learning System (ALS) Learning Materials in Tagaytay City, Cavite, Philippines on 25-27 September 2019.
This is the second workshop of the Development of the New ALSs Modules following the first one held in August 2019 on the Mapping and Tagging of Alternative Learning Resources for Alternative Learning System Equivalent to K-12 Basic Education. The development of the ALS learning materials is one of the five key components of the project of UNESCO Office, Jakarta called the 'Better Life for Out-of-School Girls to Fight Against Poverty and Injustice in the Philippines' with funding support from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
The main objective of the second workshop is to present the draft of new ALS modules developed by content writers, content experts and illustrators for the seven learning strands of ALS curriculum parallel to K-12 basic formal education. Participants to this workshop includes content writers, content experts, language and gender experts, multimedia experts and curriculum consultant together with APC project team, DepEd ALS Task Force and UNESCO. Around 40 participants attended the workshop where inputs and comments were provided to the draft of new ALS modules. Based on the feedback during the workshop, the content writers and experts shall revise their modules per learning strand and finalize the modules based on the standard criteria of DepEd for the development of ALS learning materials. Expert inputs in the development of ALS modules were further provided to level off understanding of content writers and experts of the unique characteristics of an ALS module compared to formal education learning modules.
Under this component of developing the new ALS modules, it is envisaged that 50 new ALS modules shall be developed within the seven learning strands for ALS under the enhanced curriculum. The project team lead of the workshop, Ms. Mildred Pardo, delivered the introductory remarks and briefing regarding the agenda and dynamics of the 3-day workshop. On behalf of UNESCO Jakarta, Mr Remegio Alquitran, UNESCO National Project Officer, provided short remarks in extending its sincere appreciation to all participants specifically to DepEd and APC in their collaboration for the project.
Once all the draft ALS modules are finalized, there will be a validation process in the field which will be conducted in October 2019.
MANILA – Two members of the House of Representatives on Tuesday lauded President Rodrigo Duterte's signing of the Alternative Learning System (ALS) Act which would institutionalize the parallel learning system for non-formal sources of knowledge and skills.

House Majority Leader Martin Romualdez and Tingog party-list Rep. Yedda Marie Romualdez said the enactment of ALS Act is a win for millions of out-of-school children, youth, and adult learners, as well as indigenous peoples, learners with disabilities, and other marginalized sectors, as it improves the delivery of basic education to the underserved and disadvantaged.
'This law will strengthen the State support and mechanisms so our learners will be able to complete the appropriate and functional literacy, life skills and basic education they deserve,' Yedda said. 'The passage of this priority measure of Tingog party-list is a signal of hope for the future of our marginalized learners.'
Romualdez said Duterte's approval of the measure is consistent with his commitment to improve the lives of the Filipino people, especially learners who wanted to pursue non-formal education.
'This is a step towards the fulfillment of our goal to provide education for all,' Romualdez said. 'Through this law, the government will not just support our ‘out-of-school children in special cases' and adults, but also ALS teachers.'
In the Senate, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian said the ALS institutionalization 'is a timely and urgent measure considering the disruptions brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic in the education sector.'
Before the pandemic, the World Bank reported that about 24 million Filipinos aged 15 and above have not completed basic education and around 2.4 million children aged 5 and 14 are not in school. When the pandemic struck, around 2.3 million learners in K to 12 were not able to enroll. For those participating under the existing ALS programs, around 45 percent of the previous year's participants did not enroll.
'By building an ALS Community Learning Center in every city and municipality, we can make this program more accessible to millions of out-of-school children in special cases----such as learners with disabilities, Indigenous Peoples, children in conflict with the law, and those from other marginalized sectors ----and adults,' said Gatchalian, chairman of the Senate committee on basic education, arts and culture.
Senator Christopher 'Bong' Go also lauded Duterte for signing the law institutionalizing the ALS program in the country.
'Education is a constitutionally enshrined right which the State must protect and promote. Thus, ensuring education for all should be a top priority. For this to be achieved, it is vital that opportunities to learn and receive quality education are accessible to all those who so desire,' said Go, co-author of the new law.

Under the law, the Department of Education (DepEd), in consultation with the Department of Budget and Management and the Civil Service Commission (CSC), shall create teaching positions and allocate corresponding salary grades to help strengthen the ALS Teachers Program.
ALS teachers will also be entitled to promotion to the next higher levels based on the qualification standards of the CSC.
Based on the signed law, the ALS is more conducive to a non-traditional student's academic success as it takes into consideration their specific needs and concerns.

It provides them with specialized programs and alternative education approaches and strategies which they otherwise would not be able to receive within the formal learning system.
Specifically, students can develop knowledge, skills and selected competencies through a combination of learning modalities, including face-to-face learning sessions, modular instruction, digital instruction and workshops, among others.
