It was truly a great day for the Dasmarinas City Alternative Learning System (ALS) under the supervision of Arnold Janssen Catholic Mission Foundation. Fr. Jerome Marquez, director of the foundation, was all smiles as he witnessed the graduates receiving their diploma.

He
was also quick to explain that ALS provides a systematic and flexible approach
to reach all types of learners. He clarified that this doesn’t compete
with formal education. Instead, ALS augments the formal education by catering
to learners with special needs. He capped off the event by sharing that the
concept of ALS is to bring education at the doorstep of the learner.
