Hi Sr./Madam,
I would like to have an ALS in our school. when the teachers seminar for A.L.S?
Hi, Ever!
Thanks for visiting our site.
We’re sorry, but we’re neither affiliated with the Bureau of Alternative Learning System nor the Department of Education, so we’re not familiar with the process involved in requesting for ALS to be implemented in a particular school. For that, it would probably be best if you’ll contact BALS or DepEd directly so they can give you proper advice. You can find their contact information on the page below:
