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)

Each Learning Strand describes:a focus or foci terminal objectivessub-terminal objectivesenabling 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
