The Bureau of Alternative Learning System (BALS) is a Philippine government agency that aims to provide education access and literacy programs for out-of-school youth and adults. It oversees three main programs: the Basic Literacy Program, the Accreditation and Equivalency Program, and the Indigenous Peoples Education Program. BALS is divided into three divisions - Literacy, Continuing Education, and Staff Development - and works with various providers including mobile teachers, coordinators, and private organizations to deliver alternative learning programs throughout the country, especially in remote communities. The overall goal is to expand educational opportunities and skills training to promote employment, productivity, and competitiveness.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. The Bureau of Alternative Learning System
is a very important component in the Philippine Education to achieve quality and access to
education as envisioned in the Education for All (EFA) 2015 Philippine Plan of Action and
specifically on the reduction of illiteracy rate.
Section 12,1 Rules XII of R.A 9155 stipulates that the Alternative Learning System is a
parallel learning system to provide a viable alternative to the existing formal education
instruction, encompassing both the non formal and informal sources of knowledge and skills.
One of the most important initiatives in Non Formal Education in the Philippines in the last
10 years is the Alternative Learning System which is a major component of basic education
with a clearly defined role within the overall educational goal. Thus the Bureau of Non
Formal Education is renamed to Bureau of Alternative Learning System.
WHY IS BALS PLACED IN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM?
The Bureau of Alternative Learning System (BALS) is mandated to address the needs of
basic education of the out-of –school youth and adults in the country particularly in far-flung
and isolated communities, to raise the level of literacy in the target areas and improve the
quality of life of individuals and families in remote and underserved communities.
Alternative Learning System Structure
Bureau of
Alternative
Learning
System (BALS)
Continuing Education Staff Development
Literacy Division (LD) Division (CED) Division (SDD)
Bureau of Alternative Learning System (BALS) is divided into three divisions:
1. Literacy Division (LD)
3. A community-based program for illiterate out-of-school youth and adults to develop
basic literacy skills: reading, writing and numeracy.
2. Continuing Education Division (CED)
as defined by the 1986 meeting of the Asia and the Pacific Programme of Educational
Innovation for Development (APEID), covers all educational opportunities taking place
outside the literacy and primary education programs, including the enrichments of the
learning environment to activate and sustain motivation for learning.
It provides extra-curricular activities which further enhance the learning process.
3. Staff Development Division (SDD)
formulates policies, plans and programs to upgrade the quality of teaching and non-
teaching staff in non-formal education.
WHO DELIVERS ALS?
1. ALS Mobile Teachers
Teachers who live in remote communities to provide education for children
2. District ALS Coordinator
Formal school teacher that conducts sessions for illiterate adult and children.
3. DepEd Procured/Delivered
Division office enters into a contract with private groups or organizations to deliver BLP
and A&E Program.
4. ALS Service Providers
Private groups and organizations who are awarded the funds in order to deliver BLP and
A&E program to target learners in the community
5. Facilitator
Responsible for facilitating the learning session for groups of learners
6. Instructional Manager
Key person in the A&E program and also responsible for facilitating the learning session
for groups of learners.
4. 7. Non-DepED
Private groups, LGUs,NGOs and Government organizations that deliver the BLP and
A&E program using their own funds.
FUNCTIONS:
The bureau outlines its functions as: serving the needs of those unable to avail of formal
education; expanding access to educational opportunities; and providing opportunities for the
acquisition of skills to ensure employability, efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness in the
labor market. BNFE funds come from three main sources which are: the General Appropriations
Act, loans from the Asian Development Bank, and funds from other international agencies such
as UNESCO, UNICEF, ACCU, and elsewhere.
THREE MAJOR PROGRAMS OF BALS
2. BASIC LITERACY PROGRAM (BLP)
A community-based program for illiterate out-of-school youth and adults to develop
basic literacy skills: reading, writing and numeracy.
3. ACCREDITATION and EQUIVALENCY (A&E) PROGRAM
For literates who have not completed ten years of basic education (for elementary and
secondary level drop-outs).
The age limit is 13 years old and above for the elementary drop-out and 15 years old
and above for the high school drop-out. It also implements a wide array of other related
programs and projects in partnership with local and international organizations.
To attain this vision and fully implement the Alternative Learning System in the
Philippines, the Alternative Learning System (ALS) Mobile Teacher Program was
conceptualized as a means to bring education where the learners are. It is an immediate
response to the demand of millions of target learners for some kind of relevant learning
intervention through the Alternative Learning System.
For the full and effective implementation of the Alternative Learning System (ALS),
Mobile Teachers have been deployed and assigned to areas where the unreached and
underserved population of the country is.
Due to lack of manpower in the implementation of ALS programs in the field, the
Bureau of Alternative Learning System requested for the service of some formal school
teachers to be designated as full-time District ALS Coordinator (DALSCs).
5. Both Mobile Teachers and District ALS Coordinator conduct intensive community-
based learning sessions for illiterate out-of –school children, youths and adults and
those who have not finished ten years of basic education.
3. INDIGENOUS PEOPLES EDUCATION PROGRAM ( IPEP)
A program that aims to develop an IP culture-sensitive core curriculum, learning
materials and assessment tools/instruments.
