The Literacy Coordinating Council (LCC) recognizes the contributions of local government units (LGUs) and non-government organizations (NGOs) across the nation through the National Literacy Awards (NLA) where outstanding literacy programs, practices, and accomplishments that contribute in addressing literacy gaps are recognized. This initiative also serves as a platform to strengthen partnerships and collaboration with key stakeholders, promote community-based literacy initiatives, and gather valuable insights to shape policies aimed at advancing education for all and achieving universalized literacy. This year, public schools and Alternative Learning Systems (ALS) Community Learning Centers (CLCs) have been included in the Search.
