Alternative Learning System (ALS)
The Alternative Learning System complements the effort of the formal education system in addressing the basic learning needs of every Filipino, particularly those who are disadvantaged and marginalized. ALS is a parallel learning system that provides a viable alternative to the existing formal education instruction. It encompasses both the nonformal and informal sources of knowledge and skills.
The ALS curriculum contains five strands based on the operational definition of functional lieracy. These skills are: (1) communication; (2) problem solving and critical thinking; (3) sustainable use of resources and productivity; (4) development of self and a sense of community; and, (5) expanding one’s world vision. For ALS, mother tongue is necessary for the acquisition of basic literacy skills. Mother tongue or the language used by the majority in the area are used as medium of instruction and the language of the learning materials such as modules. To be able to reach as many learners as possible, ALS uses various modes of learning such as (1) face-to-face instruction, (2) radio-based instruction, (3) computer-based instruction, and (4) independent learning. Vision The Bureau of Alternative Learning system (BALS) envisions itself to be the leading producer of Filipino lifelong learners. Mission In partnership with other producers of learning, the Bureau of Alternative Learning system (BALS) will develop exemplary programs and open creative learning opportunities to achieve multiple literacies for all.
