The program is open for out-of-school youths who have finished Grade 10 or a junior high school undergraduate, solo parents, senior citizens, and persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) who wish to pursue further education.

Good news for those wishing to continue their education under the Alternative Learning System (ALS): the local government of Sta. Cruz, Laguna is offering free courses for selected beneficiaries through the Santa Cruz ALS-EST Centre.

The “Libreng Pag-aaral” Program is a joint venture of the local government under Mayor Edgar San Luis and the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP), the LGU said in a social media post on September 9.

The program is open for out-of-school youths who have finished Grade 10 or a junior high school undergraduate, solo parents, senior citizens, and persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) who wish to pursue further education.

“Ang inisyatibong ito ang magiging daan upang ang mga mamamayan ng Sta. Cruz ay magkaroon ng oportunidad na pumili ng ninanais nilang maabot sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatuloy sa Higher Education; pagkakaroon ng hanapbuhay; agpapatakbo ng negosyo; [at pagakakaroon ng] middle-level skills training o pagpapalawak ng kaalaman sa mas mataas na skills training,” San Luis said.
“Ang pagakakaroon ng oportunidad sa mga exits na nabanggit ang siyang magiging daan upang ang bawat isa ay maging mas produktibong mamamayan ng ating bayan,” he added.

The program offers skills training courses such as computer servicing, electrical services, cookery, dress-making, and contact center services.

The "Libreng Pag-aaral" package includes free tuition fees, training allowances, travel and meal allowances, and free learning kits and materials, according to the municipal government.
