Briones also announced the creation of the ALS Task Force and its members led by DepEd Assistant Secretary G.H. Ambat with Dr. Marillete Almayda as the Task Force Head.
DepEd noted that a “strengthened and expanded” ALS is identified “as one of the major enhancements” to the K to 12 Basic Education Program of the government. It is also included in the 10-point agenda of DepEd under Briones’ leadership entitled “Quality, Accessible, Relevant and Liberating Basic Education for All” which was released in November 2016.
Briones noted that the “starting point” of “strengthening” the ALS is the development of the ALS K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum aligned to the formal K to 12 curriculum. “As the blueprint for the design of the ALS programming, the new ALS curriculum requires substantive changes to the other system components of ALS,” she explained.
These changes will also be applied to the learning materials, learning delivery system, learning environment, and learner assessment and certification system. Briones explained that there will also be changes in the system support components of ALS which include capacity building, financial management, advocacy, social mobilization, and partnership strategy.
Currently, Briones said that DepEd “is now engaged in rolling out” a new version of the ALS curriculum. Apart from this, she noted that “a comprehensive five-year ALS Roadmap has been developed” under the supervision of Ambat, who has been assigned to oversee the ALS Program.
