Canaman Central School's Alternative Learning System (ALS), in partnership with the College of Computer Studies (CCS), successfully concluded Phase 2 of Oplan LADAWAN (Learning and Digital Advancement for Work and Aspirations in the Neighborhood).

The program forms part of CCS's community extension initiatives under the MELCHOR Program. It aims to enhance digital literacy and equip learners with practical skills to support their personal growth and future employment opportunities.

Participants completed hands-on sessions covering basic computer operations, productivity tools, and essential digital applications. Building on Phase 1 in 2025—which focused on Microsoft Word and PowerPoint—Phase 2 introduced Microsoft Excel and Canva, helping learners manage real-world digital tasks more effectively.

Mrs. Elaine Presentacion, ALS coordinator at Canaman Central School, commended the sustained partnership and the technology resources provided.

The program underscores the impact of school-community collaboration in supporting ALS learners in local areas, including partnered barangays such as San Jose West in Canaman, and in expanding access to digital learning opportunities.
