    US: NO CHILD IS LEFT BEHIND VS PH: EDUCATION FOR ALL

    What is NCLB?

    The No Child Left Behind law—the 2002 update of the Elementary and Secondary
    Education Act - which grew out of concern that the American education system was no
    longer internationally competitive—significantly increased the federal role in holding
    schools responsible for the academic progress of all students.

    And it put a special focus on ensuring that states and schools boost the performance of
    certain groups of students, such as

     English-language learner

     students in special education,

     and poor and minority children, whose achievement, on average, trails their
    peers.

    Philippines’ Education for All

    As a response, the Philippines crafted and implemented the 10-year EFA Philippine Plan
    of Action covering 1991-2000. The EFA plan articulated the country’s national goals,
    objectives, policies and strategies, as well as the regional programs for implementation
    for the first decade of the EFA movement. Under the 1991-2000 Plan (EFA 1), the thrusts
    included:

    Early Childhood Development

    1
    • Expand and improve comprehensive early childhood care and education,
    especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

    • Ensure that by 2015, all children, particularly girls, children in difficult


    circumstances and those belonging to ethnic minorities, have access to complete
    free and compulsory primary education of good quality;

    Universalization of Quality Primary Education

    • Enhancing the holding power or student retention of schools

    • Using alternative teaching-learning delivery modes

    • Strengthening home-school partnership

    • Emphasis on higher-level thinking skills

    • Upgrading teacher competencies

    Alternative Learning Systems

    • Eradication of illiteracy in selected areas

    • Promotion of continuing education and development

    • Implementation of integrated programs

    How is ALS implemented?

    ALS ACCREDITATION AND EQUIVALENCY TEST

     The Alternative Learning System Accreditation and Equivalency (ALS A&E) Test,
    formerly known as the Non-formal Education A&E Test, is a paper and pencil test
    designed to measure the competencies of those who have neither attended nor
    finished elementary or secondary education in the formal school system.

     Passers of the A&E Test are given a certificate/diploma, bearing the Department
    of Education (DepEd) seal and the signature of the Secretary, certifying their

    2
    competencies as comparable graduates of the formal school system. Passers are
    qualified to enroll in secondary and post-secondary schools.
