A 62-year-old woman has proven that age is no reason to stop reaching for one’s dreams!

Josephine Amante Villatema graduated from high school through the Alternative Learning System

In an interview with GMA News, Josephine said she strived to finish so she could achieve her dream of taking culinary arts at Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

ALS is an alternative or “substitute” for those who have no means to access formal education in schools.

It has two major programs, the Basic Literacy Program and the Continuing Education Program - Accreditation and Equivalency, which are both modular and flexible. – Franchesca Viernes/RC, GMA News
