On May 28, 2026, our ALS team conducted a literacy mapping activity in Pusod Gamay, Brgy. 19-A, and in Hda. Pusod Daku, Hda. Pusod Victan, and Hda. Soledad in Brgy. 20. The activity aimed to identify potential learners, out-of-school youth, and adults who are interested in enrolling in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) program.
During the visit, we engaged with residents through house-to-house profiling and short interviews to assess their educational background, current needs, and interest in literacy and continuing education. Most of the communities expressed positive responses, especially parents who wished to return to learning to improve their livelihood opportunities. Several out-of-school youth also showed willingness to enroll in ALS to pursue their education despite work responsibilities.
We also took the opportunity to explain the goals of ALS, the learning delivery modalities, and the benefits of completing either the Basic Literacy Program or the Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) program. The community leaders in both barangays welcomed the initiative and assured their support in informing other residents.
Overall, the literacy mapping was successful and productive. The data gathered will guide the planning of future learning sessions and help ensure that educational interventions are accessible to all identified learners. Through this activity, we continue to strengthen our commitment to bringing education closer to the community and providing opportunities for those who wish to continue their learning journey.
