Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

PALS (Personalized Alternative Learning System) is an innovative platform designed to support ALS learners through flexible, technology-driven, and personalized learning pathways. It helps learners prepare for the Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) assessment while meeting their individual learning needs.

PALS is designed for marginalized groups and diverse learners such as out-of-school youth, working students, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), married people, and adults who want to continue their education and complete their secondary level.

PALS uses adaptive learning tools and neural network algorithms to create customized learning pathways. Learners can study at their own pace, strengthen their skills, and track progress toward their goals.
