Here is a video I got today again from my email through Google Alerts. After watching this video, I got impressed with these out-of-school youth who inspite of their life-situation, still find time and realize the value of lifelong learning for their future. Kudos to their ALS teachers who are helping them fulfill their dreams. Go, go, go ALS of Angeles City, Pampanga!
Here's Alternative Learning System(ALS) news from the Philippine Information Agency(PIA) website about the Department of Education's(DepEd) call for early enrollment for SY 2012-2013 for school-aged children and out-of-school youth. The DepEd also seeks to enlist all five year-old children in kindergarten and for six year-olds to enlist for Grade 1. You can read more about this in this link.
Last Friday, January 6th, I went to the Constructing Learning Through Technology(CLT) learning center in Brgy. San Antonio(BSA E-Room), Pasig City and attended the meeting between the barangay officials and the people from the Department of Education(DepEd) office of Pasig City. The latter explained to the delighted officials of Brgy. San Antonio all about the Alternative Learning System(ALS). Before lunch, the DepEd installed the digitized modules of the ALS in the computers of the BSA E-Room. It's more fun to learn using those digitized modules of the ALS rather than the printed ones. Anyway, congratulations to Kat Pauso, center manager of the BSA E-Room, barangay officials of Brgy. San Antonio and the BSA E-Room for officially becoming the first ALS eSkwela learning center in Pasig City, Metro Manila! What a great start for 2012!!!
I found an interesting Facebook group last Christmas Day. I quickly asked to join them and posted a Merry Christmas greeting on their wall. The ALS Coalition said that it is "a movement of implementers and service providers on the Alternative Learning System that reaches out to out-of-school children and youth, and non-literate adults."
Here is DepEd Memo No. 123 s. of 2011 which is the official Guideline for the October 2011 Alternative Learning System (ALS) Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) Test Registration and Test Administration.
