Basic Education Curriculum
for the Alternative Learning
System (BEC-ALS)
The Basic Education Curriculum
for the ALS:
 covers
a set of competencies
that a learner can achieve
through the alternative learning
process
The BEC - ALS:
 contains
a learning continuum
of essential and functional
skills, knowledge and values
appropriate for ALS basic
education designed to be
comparable to the basic
education in the formal school
system
The BEC - ALS:
 was
drawn from the 1997
Philippine Elementary
Learning competencies and
1998 Philippine Secondary
Schools Learning
Competencies
The BEC - ALS structure and
content was based on the national
definition of functional literacy and
its major indicators developed by
the Literacy Coordinating Council
(LCC)

The BEC - ALS Learning Strands
Communication Skills
 Problem Solving and Critical
Thinking (scientific literacy and
numeracy)
 Sustainable Use of Resources
and Productivity
 Development of Self and a Sense
of Community
 Expanding One’s World Vision

Each Learning Strand
describes:
a
focus or foci
 terminal objectives
 sub-terminal objectives
 enabling objectives
These objectives are the
competencies themselves which
incorporate the essential
knowledge, skills, attitude and
values of the learning strand.
Each objective has a
corresponding level of literacy:
 basic
(BL)
 elementary (EL)
 secondary (SL)
Learners interested in obtaining
Elementary Level Certificates need
to develop proficiency of the basic
and elementary level
competencies.
Learners seeking Secondary Level
Certificates need to develop
proficiency of the secondary level
competencies.
The emphasis of the competencies
of the BEC-ALS is to:
 facilitate
the practical
application of knowledge and
skills
 effect immediate improvement
in the quality of the life of
learners
