Department of Education’s (DepEd) accreditation and equivalency test

Nearly 20,000 out-of-school children, youth and adults in Central Visayas took the Department of Education’s (DepEd) accreditation and equivalency test last year, a DepEd 7 report said.

Of the 19,570 persons who registered to take the test last November, 11,065 wee from Cebu Province and 2,587 were from Cebu City.

The test, whose results will be announced next month, as one of the programs under DepEd’s Alternative Learning System (ALS), which also offers basic literacy program to out-of-school children, youth and adults.

Those who pass the test are granted equal rights as those who graduate from the formal education systems. They are given a certificate of completion signed by the DepEd secretary.

In the 2010 national accreditation and equivalency test, the divisions of Bohol, Cebu Province and Cebu City were among the 10 divisions nationwide with the most number of test passers.

Central Visayas has been recognized by the Accreditation and Equivalency National Ranking Committee as one of the most successful regions to implement ALS, with 222 community learning centers operating in the region.
