Alternative Learning System 1

The Alternative Learning System (ALS) is a free education program implemented by the Department of Education that provides flexible learning opportunities for those who cannot attend formal schooling. It aims to provide functional literacy and skills that learners can apply to participate meaningfully in their community and society. The ALS curriculum focuses on communication skills, problem solving, sustainable resource use, and community development. It offers programs like the Basic Literacy Program and Continuing Education Program. Learners can take the ALS Accreditation and Equivalency test to earn a certificate equivalent to formal education. Compared to formal education, ALS has fewer age requirements, community-based learning, and facilitators rather than licensed teachers.
