Abstract

This qualitative research explored the implementation of the Alternative Learning System in the Philippines as described by a group of doctoral students through reflective and thematic analyses. Some of the key issues on which the research has focused are (a) defining andragogy and its pillars, (b) the policy environment, (c) ALS Basic Education Curriculum, (d) learning modalities, (e) Community Learning Centers, (f) assessments and certification, and (g) post program pathways. Results found that although there are certain aspects of ALS conveyed that are much appreciated because of the flexibility and inclusivity it offers, substantial challenges lie in the slow policy implementation, proper resources, and equal opportunity towards technology access. This report discusses the current state of ALS and presents practical insights into how the service may be further improved to meet the educational needs of out-of-school youth and adults in the Philippines.
