C. School Vision and Mission Statements
VISION

We dream of Filipinos who passionately love their country and whose competencies and values enable
them to realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to building the nation.
We are a learner-centered public institution, the Department of Education continuously improves itself to
better serve its stakeholders.

MISSION

To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable culture-based, and complete basic
education where:
Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe and motivating environment
Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture every learner
Administrators and staff, as stewards of the institution, ensure an enabling and supportive environment
for effective learning to happen
Family , community and other stakeholders are actively engaged and share responsibility for developing
lifelong learners.

Part II: Program Description

A. Rationale
We have seen education as an area that has undertaken numerous reforms in order to meet the
needs of our ever-changing society. Though face to face instruction is not yet permitted by our
government, it is on this reason that the demand for innovation is high. Educators and administrators are
searching various ways to prepare students for alternatives ways to learn specifically to carry out
teaching- learning modalities.
As provided on Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution " the State shall give priority to
education, science and technology, arts, culture, and sports to foster patriotism and nationalism, accelerate
social progress, and promote total human liberation and development". It implies that education should be
the main concern.
Page 3 of 4
 Furthermore, Article II, Section 13 of the 1987 Constitution states that, "the State recognizes the
vital role of the youth in nation-building and shall promote and protect their physical, moral, spiritual,
intellectual, and social well-being. It shall inculcate in the youth patriotism and nationalism, and
encourage their involvement in public and civic affairs". It is therefore the duty of the government to
ensure that youth should be equipped and be prepared for their future. However, this will not be possible
if it is to be done by the school alone. Thus, in support to the government, everyone has a role and
responsibility to perform, from policy-makers to stakeholders.
Alternative Learning System (ALS) provides opportunities for out-of-school youth and adult
(OSYA) learners to develop basic and functional literacy skills and to access equivalent pathways to
complete basic education. With the introduction of the ALS K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum (BEC),
there is a need to harmonize the policies pertaining to ALS to ensure strategic, efficient and effective
implementation.

B. Brief Description of the Program:

In order to provide a parallel learning system for out of school youth and graduates of the ALS
Junior High School 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 non-formal and informal sources of knowledge and skills.

C. Target Learners:

The first target group for ALS are students who drop out of high school for financial reasons.6
Students who leave school for financial reasons are the most likely group to enroll in ALS, complete the
program, and pass the A&E test. For these students, dropping out of school is seldom related to ability
or learning commitment. Students who stop school for marriage/pregnancy or behavioral reasons,
however, are the least likely to enroll and succeed in ALS

SHS ALS in Manaoag National High school is intended for adults who are 16 years old or older
and beyond basic school age that need basic literacy skills particularly in reading, writing and simple
computation. Fifty (50) or more students/ learners from Manaoag and other nearby municipalities.
