The Alternative Learning System (ALS) is a government education program for Filipinos who did not complete formal schooling. Through Recruit - ALS, you can continue your education and have the opportunity to achieve your life goals.
The Alternative Learning System (ALS) is a parallel learning system in the Philippines that provides a practical option to the existing formal instruction. It aims to open the doors of education for every Filipino, regardless of their status or age in life.
This program is designed to be open and highly accessible to out-of-school youth, working citizens, family heads, and senior learners who wish to study and obtain formal certification.
Through modular materials and guidance from dedicated Mobile Teachers across various Learning Centers, learners are prepared for the Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) Test. Passing this exam awards a diploma equivalent to formal Elementary or High School graduation, which can be used for employment, TESDA, or college admission.
