Vivian B. Dacula- Division Program Supervisor - The Alternative Learning System (ALS) is
a free education program implemented by the Department of Education
(DepEd) under the Bureau of Alternative Learning System which benefits
those who cannot afford formal schooling and follows whatever is their
available schedule. The program provides a viable alternative to the
existing formal education instruction, encompassing both the non-formal
and informal sources of knowledge and skills.
How
does it work In ALS, students have to attend 10 months of school or
800 hours in the classroom. Then their performance are then assessed.
Since
ALS is a module-based learning system, students come in on a set time
and choose a module to read. A quiz is given after each module to test
their learning. Instead of teachers, facilitators are always present to
answer any questions and sometimes lecturers would discuss a certain
module. After several months, the students will take the Accreditation
and Equivalency Test (AET). If they pass the test, they will be given a
high school diploma and can now enroll in college.
