📣 Here Are the Passers for the 2024 Accreditation & Equivalency Test 📘 – Official DepEd Memo Released!
In a significant update from the Department of Education (DepEd), the long-anticipated results for the 2024 Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) Test are finally out! This critical assessment, conducted by DepEd’s Bureau of Education Assessment (BEA), opens new educational doors for many Alternative Learning System (ALS) learners across the country.
📅 The tests were administered on January 26, 2025, for the Luzon Cluster, and on February 2, 2025, for the Visayas and Mindanao Clusters. The official list of passers is now available via regional and local Schools Division Offices (SDOs), according to the latest memorandum released on June 6, 2025.
🎓 What Is the A&E Test and Why It Matters
The A&E Test—also referred to as the ALS Accreditation and Equivalency Test—serves as an alternate pathway for learners who did not complete formal basic education. As per DepEd Order No. 55, s. 2016, the goal of this assessment is to measure both academic competencies and real-life skills.
This initiative empowers out-of-school youth, adult learners, and other marginalized groups to earn a Certificate of Completion, which acts as a credential for:
-
Re-enrollment in formal education (Grade 7 or Grade 11)
-
Employment opportunities
-
Promotion within current jobs
-
Skills training or further education access
According to DepEd, this assessment ensures “inclusive and equitable quality education” in line with UNESCO’s global education agenda.
✅ 📝 Understanding the Passing Criteria: Are You a Passer or Conditional?
To be officially declared a passer, examinees must achieve an overall test score of at least 60.00% in either the Elementary or Junior High School level tests.
Learners who pass can proceed to:
-
Grade 7 or ALS Junior High School (for elementary test passers)
-
Grade 11 or ALS Senior High School (for high school test passers)
However, those who score between 50.00% and 59.99% are designated as conditional passers. This group is required to undergo a two-week learning enhancement program designed and implemented by their respective Community Learning Centers (CLCs) or Schools Division Offices (SDOs).
💬 As noted by the Bureau of Alternative Education (BAE), these enhancement sessions aim to solidify weak competencies and ensure that conditional passers meet the required educational benchmarks.
📄 How and Where to Get Your Certificate of Rating (COR)
If you took the test, you can claim your Certificate of Rating (COR) from the SDO where your testing center was located. These certificates are proof of your performance and eligibility to transition to formal education or pursue employment opportunities.
To ensure a smooth and systematic distribution, Division Testing Coordinators are working in coordination with ALS focal persons and Education Program Specialists II for ALS.
🗂️ According to the memorandum, all concerned personnel must ensure proper documentation, verification, and the orderly release of these certificates.
