ALS Overview and ALS Curriculum

This document outlines the key differences between the formal education system and the Alternative Learning System (ALS) in the Philippines. The ALS provides flexible entry and exit points and targets out-of-school youth and adults through programs like basic literacy, elementary education, and secondary education equivalency. It uses self-paced, self-instructional modules and community learning centers rather than traditional classrooms. The ALS curriculum focuses on competencies rather than specific subjects and uses functional literacy and accreditation tests for assessment.
