The delivery of literacy services by state universities in the Philippines is embedded in their academic functions of instruction/teaching, research and development, consultancy, and extension services. To reach a larger clientele and democratize access to education, the University of the Philippines (UP) has established the Open University. The Philippine Normal University has a developed a comprehensive development plan for the second district of Negros Occidental region with the following components that promote adult literacy: Nonformal Education for the Out-of-School Youth, Nonformal Education for Adults, and Continuing and Lifelong Education Program. UP has a very strong extension program. Among the services under this volunteer program that relate to the promotion of adult literacy are the following: Affirmative Action Program; Pinatubo Rehabilitation and Resettlement Program; Ecology Camp; Coastal Resource Management Program; Service Learning; Tutorial Program; Community Empowerment Program; Training and Technical Assistance Programs; and Farmer Scientist Program. Through its Education Research Program, UP is involved in the conceptualization and operationalization of the Comprehensive Education and Community Development Program of Valencia, Negros Oriental, a joint program intended to respond to all the education needs of the locality by articulating all education and training programs and linking them to municipal development and plans and programs.
