Bangkok, 6 February 2012. The Philippine Embassy is pleased to inform Filipino families in Thailand that officials from the Philippine Department of Education will be administering the ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM ACCREDITATION & EQUIVALENCY (ALS A&E) TEST IN BANGKOK at the Embassy conference room on 19 February 2012, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm
What is the ALS Accreditation and Equivalency Test? What are the benefits of passing it?
The ALS A&E Test, formerly the Non-formal Education A&E Test, is one of the four components of the ALS A&E (then NFE A&E) system. Those who pass it will receive a certification of learning achievement signed by the Secretary of the Philippine Department of Education at two learning levels – Elementary and Secondary – that is comparable to having attended formal schooling in the Philippines. Thus, with the certificate, a test passer can --
• enroll in post secondary courses (technical/vocational, two/four/five-year course) at private colleges and universities and government-owned or controlled educational institutions in the Philippines;
• access skills training programs offered by the MFI Foundation Inc (MFI) and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA); and
• acquire civil service eligibility for Philippine government employment positions.
