ALS Matina District successfully conducted a series of activities in preparation for the opening of classes, namely the Literacy Mapping, Brigada Eskwela, and Enrollment Period for School Year 2026–2027. These activities were spearheaded by ALS Teachers in coordination with community stakeholders and partner volunteers, in line with the continuing thrust of the Department of Education to expand access to basic education for out-of-school youth and adults.
The Literacy Mapping activity was conducted within the two barangays - Matina Crossing and Matina Aplaya for the whole month of May 2026 to locate and profile potential ALS learners . The team visited households and community centers to gather relevant data, identify learning needs, and encourage potential learners to enroll in the program. This activity provided a clearer picture of the educational status of the community and served as a foundation for targeted ALS implementation.
During the Brigada Eskwela period (June 1-5, 2026), ALS teachers and volunteers actively participated in the preparation of learning spaces. Efforts included cleaning, organizing instructional materials, and ensuring that community learning centers were safe and conducive for learning. The spirit of bayanihan was evident as stakeholders collaborated to support the program despite limited resources.
Meanwhile, the Enrollment Period was conducted simultaneously, allowing identified learners from the mapping activity to register in the ALS program. ALS teachers assisted in the completion of enrollment forms and provided orientation regarding program expectations and learning modalities. This ensured a smooth transition from recruitment to formal participation in ALS classes.
Overall, the combined implementation of Literacy Mapping, Brigada Eskwela, and Enrollment Period in ALS Matina District strengthened community engagement and improved learner participation. These activities reaffirm the commitment of ALS teachers to bring inclusive, accessible, and flexible education to all learners.
