“ESD Statement”• RA 7160, Section 16. General Welfare.
– … local government units shall ensure and support … the preservation and enrichment of
culture, promote health and safety, enhance the right of the people to a balanced ecology,
encourage and support the development of appropriate and self‐reliant scientific and
technological capabilities, improve public morals, enhance economic prosperity and social justice,
promote full employment among their residents, maintain peace and order, and preserve the
comfort and convenience of their inhabitants.
Current Policies
• There is no law institutionalizing the establishment of CLCs in the country.
• The closest to CLCs is the establishment of daycare center , multipurpose hall,
information and reading center in each barangay.
Current Policies• But still, even without a national policy, the
DepEd through the Bureau of Alternative Learning Systems developed a Primer on Establishing CLCs.
• The Bureau aimed to put up a CLC in each barangay and as of the moment, it has
established 522 CLCs, meaning 1.2% of the total number of barangays have CLCs.
• Major programs of these CLCs are literacy programs for out‐of‐school youths, adult
learners, and marginalized groups.
Current Policies• There are also no policies pertaining to
development of NFE‐FE partnership (NFE activities not initiated by the Department of
Education).
• This partnership just evolve on its own.
Emerging Policy House Bill No. 1738: 21st
Century Community Learning Center’s Act of 2010
• Community Learning Center – an entity within a public elementary or secondary school building that
provides educational, recreational, health, and social service programs for residents of all ages within local community; and is operated by a local
educational agency in conjunction with local government agencies, business, vocational
educational programs, institution of higher education, community colleges, and cultural
recreational, and other community and human service entities.
