➢ Was developed in the 1980’s as an alternative to the Women in Development (WD)
approach.
➢ It seeks to achieve gender equality as a fundamental value that should be reflected
in development choices and contents that women are active agents of
development, not just passive recipients of development.
➢ Unlike WID, GAD is not concerned specifically with women, but with the way in
which a society assigns roles, responsibilities, and expectations to both men and
women.

RESEARCH # 2
A. RESEARCH ABOUT THE PROGRAM “QUALITY EDUCATION” UNDER THE
DEVELOPMENTAL GOALS.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTAL GOALS- aims to ensure inclusive and
equality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
➢ This goal ensures that all girls and boys complete free primary and secondary
schooling by 2030. It also aims to provide equal access to affordable vocational
training, to eliminate gender and wealth disparities and achieve universal access
to quality higher education.

➢ Estimates show that, among those 59 million children, 1 in 5 of them had dropped
out and recent trends suggest that 2 in 5 of out-of-school children will never set
foot in a classroom. The Sustainable Development Goals clearly recognize that
this gap must be closed, even as the international community more explicitly
addresses the challenges of quality and equity in education.

➢ Space technologies can provide, among others: High-speed internet connectivity

and tailored online educational content delivered via satellite. Electronic
attendance monitoring and provision of incentives for parents to reduce dropout
rates. Remote learning, e-learning and lifelong learning opportunities for remote
and isolated communities.

B. WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM?

program for dropouts in elementary and secondary schools.
➢ Alternative Learning System provide opportunities for the students failing in the
traditional classroom setting to obtain academic credit, career exploration
activities, vocational work experience, and extended teacher/peer support in an
alternative setting where the goal is that of obtaining a diploma.

C. WHAT ARE THE SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF ALS PROGRAM?

➢ Many Filipinos do not have a chance to attend and finish formal basic education
(Grades 1-6 and Year 1-4) due to many reasons. Some drop out from schools
while some do not have schools in their communities. Since every Filipino has a

right to free basic education, the Government establishes ALS to provide all
Filipinos the chance to have access to and complete basic education in a move
that fits their distinct situations and needs.
➢ The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides for the recognition and promotion of
other forms of education other than formal education. Article XIV, Section 2,
Paragraph (1) declares that the State shall establish, maintain, and support a
complete, adequate and integrated system of education relevant to the needs of
the people and society; and paragraph (4) concisely encourages non-formal,
informal and indigenous learning systems as well as self-learning, independent
and out-of-school study programs particularly those that respond to community
needs.
➢ The Governance Act for Basic Education otherwise known as the Republic Act
9155 stipulates the establishment of the Alternative Learning System (ALS) to
provide out-of-school children, youth, and adults population with basic education.

D. GIVE ATLEAST 5 BENEFITS WE COULD GET FROM ALS PROGRAM.

President Duterte on December 23 signed Republic Act No. 11510 also known
as the Alternative Learning System Act which aims to provide adequate, timely, and
quality attention and support to the basic learning needs of out-of-school children in
special cases and adults including indigenous peoples (IPs).
➢ Under the law, the ALS program is expanded and strengthened to provide
increased opportunities for out-of-school children in special cases and adult
learners, including indigenous peoples, to develop basic and functional literacy and
life skills, and pursue an equivalent pathway to complete basic education."
➢ The law guarantees equitable access for all learners, including those who reside
in the unreached, underserved, conflict-affected communities, and communities in
emergency situations to avail of systematic, flexible, and appropriate alternative
basic education programs outside of the formal school system.
It is also meant to design specialized programs for learners with disabilities, taking
into consideration their different levels of learning needs and other functional
difficulties in the development of instructional materials and learning resources in
an accessible format.
➢ The law aims to develop, integrate, and use nonformal and informal education
approaches and strategies in the delivery of the ALS programs and the
assessment of learning outcomes and competences of ALS learners by providing
flexibility in the duration of learning programs, learning contents, and delivery
strategies, among others.
It is also meant to improve access to education and other learning opportunities
and raise the level of literacy to contribute to an individual's sustainable future and
strengthen non-formal basic education programs while ensuring support to the
