The Department of Education was established through the Education Decree of *+,- as the uperior
)ommission of rimary 0nstruction under a )hairman. The Education agency underwent many reorganiation
e'orts in the 12th century in order to better de3ne its purpose vis a vis the changing administrations and
charters. The present day Department of Education was eventually mandated through 4epublic !ct 5*66#
otherwise $nown as the 7overnance of 8asic Education act of 122* which establishes the mandate of this
agency.
The Department of Education 9DepEd formulates# implements# and coordinates policies# plans# programs andpro;ects in the areas of formal and non"formal basic education. 0t supervises all elementary and secondary
education institutions# including alternative learning systems# both public and private< and provides for the
establishment and maintenance of a complete# ade&uate# and integrated system of basic education relevant
to the goals of national development.
Historical Perspective of the Philippine Educational System
Education in the Philippines has undergone several stages of development from the pre-Spanish times to the present. In meeting the needs of the society, education serves as focus of emphases/priorities of the leadership at
certain periods/epochs in our national struggle as a race.
As early as in pre-Magellanic times, education was informal, unstructured, and devoid of methods. hildren
were provided more vocational training and less academics !" #s$ %y their parents and in the houses of tri%altutors.
&he pre-Spanish system of education underwent ma'or changes during the Spanish coloni(ation. &he tri%al
tutors were replaced %y the Spanish Missionaries. Education was religion-oriented. It was for the elite,
especially in the early years of Spanish coloni(ation. Access to education %y the )ilipinos was later li%erali(ed
through the enactment of the Educational *ecree of +" which provided for the esta%lishment of at least one primary school for %oys and girls in each town under the responsi%ility of the municipal government and the
esta%lishment of a normal school for male teachers under the supervision of the esuits. Primary instruction wasfree and the teaching of Spanish was compulsory. Education during that period was inade0uate, suppressed, and
controlled.
&he defeat of Spain %y American forces paved the way for Aguinaldo1s #epu%lic under a #evolutionary
2overnment. &he schools maintained %y Spain for more than three centuries were closed for the time %eing %utwere reopened on August 34, +4 %y the Secretary of Interior. &he 5urgos Institute in Malolos, the Military
Academy of Malolos, and the 6iterary 7niversity of the Philippines were esta%lished. A system of free and
compulsory elementary education was esta%lished %y the Malolos onstitution.
An ade0uate seculari(ed and free pu%lic school system during the first decade of American rule was esta%lishedupon the recommendation of the Schurman ommission. )ree primary instruction that trained the people for the
duties of citi(enship and avocation was enforced %y the &aft ommission per instructions of President
Mc8inley. haplains and non-commissioned officers were assigned to teach using English as the medium ofinstruction.
A highly centrali(ed pu%lic school system was installed in +49+ %y the Philippine ommission %y virtue of Act
:o. ;<. &he implementation of this Act created a heavy shortage of teachers so the Philippine ommission
authori(ed the Secretary of Pu%lic Instruction to %ring to the Philippines 99 teachers from the 7.S.A. &heywere the &homasites.

#epu%lic Act +9+;, or F&he 8indergarten Education 6awF made 8indergarten the compulsory and mandatory
entry stage to %asic education. Section 3 of this Act provides that all five !$-year old children shall %e given
e0ual opportunities for 8indergarten Education to effectively promote their physical, social, emotional and
intellectual development, including values formation so they will %e ready for school. &his was so since the

literacy !2rades +-+3$ considering that age five !$ is within the critical years where positive e@periences must
%e nurtured to ascertain school readiness.
Garious researches support that this is the period of greatest growth and development, when the %rain develops
most rapidly and almost at its fullest. It is also the stage when self- esteem, vision of the world and moral
foundations are esta%lished. &eachers/parents/caregivers/adults should therefore %e guided to facilitate
e@plorations of our young learners in an engaging and creative curriculum that is developmentally appropriate
which immerse them in meaningful e@periences. Provision of varied play-%ased activities leads them to

$hy is there a need for #lternative %earnin! "ystem in the Philippines&
Many )ilipinos do not have a chance to attend and finish formal %asic education !2rades +- and Hear +-<$ due
to many reasons. Some drop out from schools while some do not have schools in their communities. Since
every )ilipino has a right to free %asic education, the 2overnment esta%lishes A6S to provide all )ilipinos the
chance to have access to and complete %asic education in a mode that fits their distinct situations and needs.
$hat is the 'asis of #%" implementation in the Philippines&
&he +4; Philippine onstitution provides for the recognition and promotion of other forms of education other
than formal education. Article IG, Section 3, Paragraph !+$ declares that the State shall esta%lish, maintain and
support a complete, ade0uate and integrated system of education relevant to the needs of the people and society
and paragraph !<$ concisely encourages non-formal, informal and indigenous learning systems as well as self-
learning, independent and out-of-school study programs particularly those that respond to community needs.
&he 2overnance Act for 5asic Education otherwise Bnown as the #epu%lic Act 4+ stipulates the
esta%lishment of the Alternative 6earning System !A6S$ to provide out-of-school children, youth and adults
population with %asic education.
o does #%" ork&
&here are two ma'or programs on A6S that are %eing implemented %y the *epartment of Education, through the
5ureau of Alternative 6earning System !5A6S$. =ne is the 5asic 6iteracy Program and the other is the
ontinuing Education Program - Accreditation and E0uivalency !AJE$. 5oth programs are modular and
fle@i%le. &his means that learning can taBe place anytime and any place, depending on the convenience and
availa%ility of the learners.
$hat is the difference 'eteen the ormal Education "ystem and the #lternative %earnin! "ystem (#%")
Non*formal Education&
)ormal Education system is classroom-%ased, managed %y trained formal school teachers.
A6S :on-formal Education happens outside the classroom, community-%ased, usually conducted at communitylearning centers, %arangay multi-purpose hall, li%raries or at home, managed %y A6S learning facilitators, such
as mo%ile teachers, district A6S oordinators, instructional managers at an agreed schedule and venue %etween
the learners and facilitators.

!LS )!=
$hat curriculum is used in the #%"&
&he A6S urriculum reflects the set of Bnowledge sBills and competencies that learners should develop to meet
the minimum re0uirements of %asic education. It is compara%le to the formal school curriculum. &he teaching
and learning processes and resources are %ased on the A6S urriculum.
$ho are the tar!et learners in the #%"&
A6S is intended for out-of-school children, youth and adults who need %asic and functional literacy sBills,
Bnowledge and values.
&hese people are usually located in far-flung communities with no or limited access to formal schools.
In 399, it was estimated that <9.4 million or <K of the total Philippine population did not complete
%asic education. &his population is considered the target groups of the alternative learning system.
Among the target groups, 3;." million are + years old and a%ove. Meanwhile, -++ years old !.;
million$ and +3-+ !<.; million$ years old are the aggregated target learners who are in-school age.
Specifically, this group of marginali(ed learners consists of street children, indigenous peoples, farmers,
fisherfolBs, women, adolescents, solo parents, children in conflict areas not reached %y the formal schoolsystem, re%el returnees, and others.
$ho delivers the #%"&
A6S is either *epEd-delivered, *epEd-procured, or *epEd Partners-delivered.
DepEd/delivered refers to the implementation arrangement where program is directly carried-out %y
*epEd A6S implementers such as the A6S Mo%ile &eachers and *istrict A6S oordinators.
DepEd/procured refers to the implementation arrangement where program is contracted %y *epEd to
service providers such as non-government organi(ations and other government organi(ations and literacyvolunteers.

$ho are the DepEd #%" ield +mplementors&
&he A6S Programs are carried out %y A6S Mo%ile &eachers and *istrict A6S oordinators in the +; regions of
the country. 5oth are *epEd employed and hold regular teacher items.
Mo%ile &eachers are Lspeciali(ed teachers who live among the people in remote barangays of the country to
conduct the 56P for illiterate out-of-school children, youth and adults who are willing to learn %asic literacy
sBills and proceed to ontinuing Education programD Accreditation and E0uivalency !AJE$ for those who leftformal school system or have no access to schools.
&he *istrict A6S oordinators are primarily designated to harmoni(e A6S initiatives in a district. >owever, 'ust
liBe the Mo%ile &eachers, they also serve as learning facilitators in the delivery of the different A6S
programs/pro'ects.
o does learnin! intervention take place in the #%"&
&he learning facilitator !)acilitator, Instructional Manager, A6S Mo%ile &eacher, *istrict A6S oordinator$
goes to a sitio or barangay with )unctional 6iteracy &est and a set of learning materials to conduct learning
sessions until such time that the learners have %ecome literate %efore going to another sitio or barangay.
>owever, depending on the need of the learners, the learning facilitator goes %acB to a sitio or %arangay for
visitation and follow-up.
Most of the time, instead of the learners going to the ommunity 6earning enter, the learning facilitator %rings
the learning materials to the learners to help them ac0uire %asic and or functional literacy sBills.
A6S programs are delivered in various modes such as face-to-face, radio-%ased, eSBwela/computer-%ased or
independent learning.
$here do learnin! sessions take place&
6earning sessions taBe place at the ommunity 6earning enter or at any place convenient to the learners.
&eaching and learning may also taBe place at the homes of the learners, under the shades of trees, inside a
church or mos0ue, playground and any other availa%le space and venue.
$hat materials are used in the #%"&
&he A6S utili(es learning modules. Each module is complete in itself. It contains the description of the module,
o%'ectives, learning activities, and pre and post tests. Modules for the %asic and lower elementary level learners
come with a )acilitatorCs 2uide. Meanwhile, modules for advanced elementary and secondary levels were
designed for self-learning.

In the conduct of A6S sessions, use of supplementary learning materials is %eing encouraged particularly those
that are developed %y the )acilitator to suit the local need and conte@t and are locally availa%le.
In partnership with various organi(ations, %oth local and international, the *epEd-5A6S was a%le to adapt
and/or produce print and non-print learning materials to supplement the e@isting modules in the conduct of A6S
learning sessions.
Supplementary materials are important in the conduct of A6S learning sessions. Additional materials maBelearning sessions more effective %y reinforcing newly ac0uired literacy sBills. &hey also serve as spring%oards
to a new lesson, thus, maBing learning more fun and interesting. 7se of multi-media also gives %oth )acilitators
and learners chance to access new information and technology and activates multi-sensory learning.
$hat are the areas of learnin! in the #%"&
&he learning areas in the A6S are called learning strands which are the e0uivalent of the Lsu%'ects in the
