Now that I am already a mother and my baby needs a lot of
things, I have to earn money so I can provide her needs. And for you to earn money, you should have a job.
I cant apply for a good paying job right now because I haven’t finished my
studies yet. I cant go back to formal school because I have a baby to take care
of and I am over aged already for HS. And selling my home baked goodies is not enough for all of my baby's daily needs. That is why I registered to DepEd’s
non-formal education program, ALS A&E. ALS A&E stands for Alternative
Learning System Accreditaion & Equivalency. It is DepEd’s program for the
out of school youth just like me. It gives us a second chance in life to
continue our studies and get a Highschool diploma so we can pursue college.
Who can register for ALS A&E?
Out of school youth or drop outs.
Over aged for school already.
For elementary: atleast 11 years old
For Highschool: atleast 15 years old
Anyone who is basically literate and wants to
continue/finish their studies.
Whether you are a maid, janitor, messenger, cook, fisherman
or a high profile person you can register for ALS A&E. Even our people’s
champ Manny Pacquaio took this test so he can get a diploma. He is now DepEd's ambassador for ALS. :)
How does it work?
You go to your respective learning centers and review the modules
given. In some places, classes are MWF or 3 times a week but mostly it is only
once a week. You should complete atleast 800 hours of attendance in your
learning centers.
It is free of charge! So if you have a friend who wants to
continue their studies you can tell them about ALS A&E. Just go to the
DepEd office near your place and ask them about it. Or you can also inquire in
public schools near you. The test is only once a year so don’t waste a chance. For this year 2013 we already took the test
yesterday for the NCR division and we are the last batch for this year ALS
A&E exam takers.

for more info and some reviewers. That blog has helped me a lot.
I hope and pray to God that I passed the test so I can
enroll for college next year. I really want to finish my studies not just for me but also for my Cierra and my family. So please pray for me too. Thanks! ☺
