Republic of the Philippines
Republic Act No. 11510, known as the Alternative Learning System Act, institutionalizes the Alternative Learning System (ALS) in the Philippines. The law ensures accessible and flexible education for out-of-school youth, adults, and children in special circumstances, such as those with disabilities, indigenous peoples, and those in conflict areas. It aims to provide a parallel learning system that delivers equivalent pathways and opportunities for basic education, promoting inclusive education and lifelong learning for all learners outside the formal school system.
