Opening new doors to education

The country has made great strides in the education sector with the implementation of sweeping programs that has wide and far-reaching effects.

Slowly but surely, the Department of Education (DepEd) is making sure that all Filipino children and adults who have not finished basic education have access to basic learning wherever they are. With the Alternative Learning System (ALS) in place, all Filipinos now have the chance to catch up and finish elementary and high school even outside the classroom. The ALS somehow revolutionized the education system because it fulfills the government’s promise that no one will be left behind. It gives Filipinos living in the remotest village the assurance that free basic education is within their reach.
