Congratulations to Ray Butch D. Mahinay and Rolly S. Ortiz Jr. for the publication of their research titled "Overcoming Geographic and Transportation Barriers for Access and Equity in Alternative Learning System" published in the Mindanao Journal of Alternative Education Studies Vol. 2 No. 1 (2025).
This study investigates the geographic and transportation challenges faced by Alternative Learning System learners of five rural Bukidnon municipalities. Using a qualitative approach with thematic analysis and Generative AI, the study explores how geographic isolation and transportation costs impact learning. The findings highlight the importance of community engagement and stakeholder involvement in addressing these issues through infrastructure improvements and financial assistance.
The research aims to inform policies that promote equitable education for marginalized learners, ensuring an inclusive learning environment regardless of geographic location.
