Addressing these gaps is crucial for equipping ALS learners with the necessary competencies to thrive in the 21st century workforce and contribute to Philippine society. This brief analyzes the current state, highlights policy gaps, and recommends actionable steps to enhance the curriculum and ensure equitable access to digital literacy skills for ALS learners.
