Which program focuses on improving functional literacy for out-of-school youth and adults?

• A. The alternative learning system delivery
• B. The functional literacy program for the out-of-school youth and adults
• C. The promotion of the basic human rights of the Filipino
• D. The study of the Philippine Constitution

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is understanding what kind of program targets practical literacy for people who didn’t finish formal schooling. Functional literacy means being able to read, write, and do basic math well enough to handle everyday tasks—like reading labels, filling forms, managing money, and understanding instructions. The program titled specifically for out-of-school youth and adults is designed to build those concrete, usable skills for daily life and work, helping individuals participate more fully in their communities and become more employable.

The broader system that delivers non-formal education supports many programs, but it isn’t itself the focused effort on improving practical literacy for OSY and adults. The other options relate to civics education or the delivery framework rather than targeting the everyday literacy and numeracy skills this program aims to develop.
