ALS helps 322 north Davao residents

Alternative Learning System (ALS) Livelihood Training implementers of Tibungco District said the program have uplifted the lives of an estimated 322 residents of Panacan, Ilang and Tibungco barangays.

ALS serves as a parallel learning of Department of Education (Deped) in the Philippines which provides a substitute learning system to an individual who do not have an access to formal education in school.

“Maningkamot kami mga ALS Tibungco District implementers na matabangan ang katawhan sa ilang kalisod pinaagi sa paghatag kanila ug libreng edukasyon, (We ALS Tibungco District implementers are trying our best to help the residents through free education),” District Coordinator Alvin M. Olaer said in a phone interview with Sunstar Davao.

Olaer also added that through the alternative education they can help the students earn a living.

He further said the program is only offered to college or high school undergraduates or even grade school level but are interested to learn and finish short courses.

The short courses are Cookery, Bread and Pastry Production, Massage Therapy, Electrical and Installation Maintenance, Food Processing, Hairdressing, Food and Beverage, Welding and Dressmaking.

The short courses are handled by instructors who earned NCII level from Tesda. /
