Part II: Program Description

A. Rationale
Alternative Learning System (ALS) provides opportunities for out-of-
school-youth (OSY) and out-of-school adult (OSA) learners to develop basic
and functional literacy skills and to access equivalent pathways for complete
basic education. ALS K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) was
introduced to our ALS learners to provide an opportunity to finish basic
education curriculum up to Senior High School (DO 13, s.2019: Policy
Guidelines on the Implementation of Enhanced ALS 2.0), which mandates
the inclusion of the SHS level in the ALS Program which is equivalent to
Grade 11 and 12.
B. Brief Description of the Program
ALS-SHS is implemented in Surigao del Sur Division involving
several schools to help many of our out-of-school youths and adults who
cannot attend regular classes. Learners who wish to pursue higher education
must take the core competencies on top of the specializations of senior high
school. About the simple survey on learners who are to proceed in higher
education, ALS SHS in <Name of School> will commence offering Academic
Track in Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM), and
Humanities and Social Sciences (HumSS) Strands. This ensures that ALS
learners of <Name of Barangay/Municipality> will be equipped with
competencies required for employment, entrepreneurship, middle-level skills,
and tertiary education.

Target Learners
Target learners are those who are ALS Junior High School completers
who have passed the Assessments and certification requirements, the group
of ALS learners who wishes to proceed to Senior High School but for financial
hardship are most likely to stop going to school, learners who got pregnant at
an early age, or for behavioral reasons, however, are the least likely to enroll
but might succeed in ALS.
A simple survey on what strand they are going to take was also done to
determine what tract to offer. Afterwards, all those who were mapped out was
gathered with their parents for an orientation.

C. Entry Level Assessment

Briefly describe the pre-learning assessment for the prospective
learners in terms of:
1. Orientation
- Learners are out-of-school youth (OSY) and out-of-
school adults who used to work to earn a living but
are interested in completing their basic education
while helping their families.
2. Assessment and Placement
a. Functional Literacy test
- Learners were assessed using the revised Functional
Literacy test (FLT) in conjunction with the
documentation of their prior learning
b. Other placement test, if there is any

3. Counseling Services
- Seek the help/assistance of Guidance Counselors and

D. Learning Interventions
b. Curriculum Framework
Briefly describe the curriculum framework in terms of:
1. Preferred Track and Strand
i. According to our simple survey, most of the ALS
learners who wishes to proceed to Senior High School
would like to take the Academic Track and preferred
Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) and
Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strands. This
