The Alternative Learning System (ALS) is the Philippines' free non-formal education program run by the Department of Education that aims to provide basic education to those who cannot attend formal schooling. ALS targets school dropouts, out-of-school youth, workers, and cultural minorities through flexible class schedules at Community Learning Centers. Students are assessed to determine their competency level and enrolled in literacy or advanced classes, studying through self-paced modules over 800 hours to earn elementary or secondary certificates. Upon passing, ALS graduates can pursue college, technical education, jobs, or re-enroll in formal school.
