Nakalimutan na ba ni Kal. Briones ang ALS?

Tila nakalimutan na ni Kalihim Leonor Biones ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon (DepEd) ang kahalagahan at pagpapalaganap ng Alternative Learning System (ALS) na kanyang pinagdiinan sa kanyang unang talumpati sa mga kawani ng DepEd noong ika-7 ng Hulyo, 2016. Nang araw na ito ay inilahad niya ang kagalingan ng ALS at ikinuwento ang naging karanasan tungkol dito.  Sinabi niyang dapat itong palaganapin. Subali't tila nalimutan na ito ng kalihim.

Matapos suspendihin ang petsa ng eksamin para sa 2016 ALS Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) noong ika-20 ng Enero, 2017, wala nang narinig na balita tungkol dito. Limang buwan na ang lumipas nguni't hindi pa inihahayag ang bagong petsa ng pagsusulit. Hindi rin malinaw kung may pagsusulit pang magaganap. Ang mga nagrepaso at nag-aral sa ALS na nagnanais na kumuha ng kurso sa kolehiyo ay nanggagalaiti na sa inip at galit. Tila napurnada ang kanilang panahon sa pag-aaral. Ang kanilang pinag-aralan ay unti-unti nang nakakalimutan. Parang nasa balag sila ng alanganin sa paghihintay. Yaong nagnanais namang magparehistro at mag-aral sa ALS ngayong taon ay gayundin. Hindi nila malaman ang gagawin. Wala rin namang maisagot ang mga prinsipal at ALS coordinators dahil tulad nila ang naghihintay rin sila ng Memorandum galing sa DepEd.

Sa ngayon ay patuloy na umaasa ang mga mag-aaral ng ALS na makapag-eeksamin na rin sila. Nguni't habang lumalaon ay unti-unti nang naglalaho ang pag-asa nilang ito. Paano lalaganap ang inpormal na pag-aaral na tulad ng ALS kung ang mismong Kalihim ay tila nakalimutan na ito?

Nov - Dec 2012 ALS A&E Results

Naiinip na sa resulta ang mga kumuha ng pagsusulit sa Alternative Learning System (ALS) Accreditation and Equivalency exams noong nakaraang November - December 2012. Tulad nang nakaraang taon, tila madedelay na naman ang paglabas ng resulta. Inabot ng limang buwan bago lumabas ang October 2011 ALS A&E noon. Ganito rin kaya sa taong ito?

Habang hinihintay ang resulta, payo ko sa mga kumuha ng pagsusulit na patuloy na mag-review ng Mathematics at English. Ito ay para naman sa kukunin ninyong entrance examinations sa college o university kung sakalaing pumasa kayo sa ALS A&E.

Sa ngayon, good luck sa lahat! Sana ay pumasa kayo!

ALS A & E Test in October 2012

Kulang-kulang sa isang buwan ay sisimulan na ang pagsusulit ng Alternative Learning System Accreditation and Equivalency Examinations ng Department of Education. Ito ay gagawin sa Buwan ng October 2012.

Dahil dito, hataw na ang ginagawang review ng mga estudyanteng nagpatala sa pagsusulit sa tulong ng kanilang mga guro at coordinators.

Narito ang ilang tips o dapat gawin ng mga kukuha ng ALS exams:

1. Dalhin ang mga kailangang gamit na nakasulat sa inyong permit o sinabi ng inyong coordinators.
2. Kung lapis ang gagamitin, siguraduhing may reserba kayo o kaya ay may dalang pantasa at pambura.
3. Basahin mabuti kung paano sasagutin ang mga tanong. Sundin ang sinasabi ng proctor.
4. Umihi muna bago pumasok sa kuwarto kung saan gaganapin ang pagsusulit.
5. Huminga nang malalim at maging kalma bago simulan ang pagsagot sa mga tanong.
6. Kung hindi sigurado ang sagot sa isang tanong, sagutin pa rin ito subali't lagyan ng maliit na marka sa tabi ng numero nito upang balikan kung sakaling may oras pa.
7. Gawing mabilis ang pagsagot sa mga tanong nguni't huwag mataranta. Kung may oras pa, basahin muli ang mga tanong at ang inyong sagot.
8. Saguting mabuti ang essay portion o sanaysay ng pagsusulit. Sa aking palagay, kahit mataas ang nakuhang marka sa multiplee choice kung napakababa naman sa essay ay BAGSAK o FAIL pa rin ang kalalabasan.
9. Gawing malinaw sa pagsusulat ng sanaysay/essay. Dapat ay may iisang diwa lamang ang isang paragraph at magkakaugnay ang bawa't paragraph.
10. Huwag agad lalabas ng silid kung sakaling may oras pa. Rebesahin ang inyong mga sagot.
