The Alternative Learning System (ALS) is a flexible and inclusive education program that provides quality learning opportunities for learners who cannot access the traditional school setup. ALS serves out-of-school youth, adults, Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) and Senior High School students seeking a non-formal pathway to achieve their educational goals.
Through a learner-centered approach, ALS empowers students with customized learning modules, life skills development, and practical competencies that prepare them for higher education, employment, and active participation in society. Beyond the classroom, ALS nurtures resilience, critical thinking, and lifelong learning, ensuring that every learner has the chance to succeed—regardless of circumstances.
The ALS program is committed to breaking barriers and building futures, supporting learners to achieve their academic, personal, and professional aspirations. Your journey to success starts here.

The Alternative Learning System (ALS) in the Philippines provides a parallel learning system to the existing formal education system. It aims to provide all Filipinos, especially those who are out of school, with the opportunity to achieve basic and functional literacy.
Despite its noble goals, the ALS faces challenges in tracking learners' progress and ensuring they receive continuous support even after completing the program.
The ALS Project TRACK (Tracing Real-Time Achievements and Cultivating Knowledge) nis designed to address these challenges by providing a comprehensive, real-time tracking mechanism. This system will monitor learners' attendance, progress, and achievements, ensuring timely interventions and support.
The ALS Project Innovation TRACK with a focus on learners' profiles aims to enhance the effectiveness of the Alternative Learning System by providing a robust, user-friendly platform to track and support learners. By leveraging technology, this system will facilitate better monitoring, timely interventions, and data-driven decision-making, ultimately contributing to improved educational outcomes for ALS learners.
