The Research Institute for Mindanao Culture conducted an independent nationwide tracer study of the Alternative Learning System (ALS) Junior High (JH) school completers and non-completers. The purpose of this study was to assess outcomes for ALS JH on transition to the workforce, career prospects, application of acquired skills, and the relevance of training in real-world contexts
Findings from this tracer study demonstrate the positive impact of O2. Over 85% of enrollees in ALS JH completed. Among completers, 55.4% continued on to Senior High School, 5.8% continued on to technical and vocational training, and 10.3% continued on to other types of schooling. Another 21.7% continued on to employment, including self-employment. Finally 6.8% of completers balanced both additional schooling and work.
