By offering flexible and adaptable learning pathways, ALS strives to empower learners of all backgrounds to reach their full potential. As a parallel learning system, ALS accommodates diverse learner needs, promoting inclusivity and accessibility in education (Department of Education, 2023). However, despite its significance, ALS faces various challenges that impede its effectiveness, including inadequate training for educators and a lack of tailored programs that address the unique needs of learners (Boholano et al., 2024).
