learners for some kind of relevant learning interventionthrough the Alternative Learning System.

For the full and effective implementation of the Alternative Learning

System (ALS), Mobile Teachers have been deployed and assignedto areas where the unreached and underserved population of thecountry is.

Due to lack of manpower in the implementation of ALS programs inthe field, the Bureau of Alternative Learning System requested forthe service of some formal school teachers to be designated as full-time District ALS Coordinator (DALSCs).

Both Mobile Teachers and District ALS Coordinator conduct intensivecommunity-based learning sessions for illiterate out-of schoolchildren, youths and adults and those who have not finished tenyears of basic education.
