National Service Training Program (NSTP)

National Service Training Program Act of 2001 (RA
9163)

This Act affirms that the prime duty of the
government shall be to serve and protect its citizens.
In turn, it shall be the responsibility of all citizens to
defend the security of the State; thus the government
may require each citizen to render personal, military
or civil service.

In recognition of the vital role of the youth in nation-
building, the State shall promote civic consciousness
among them and shall develop their physical, moral,
spiritual, intellectual and social well being. It shall
inculcate the ideals of patriotism, nationalism, and
advance their involvement in public and civic affairs.

In the pursuit of these goals, the youth shall be
motivated, trained, organized and mobilized in
military training, literacy, civic welfare and other
similar endeavors in service to the nation.

National Service Training Program (NSTP)

This program is aimed at enhancing civic
consciousness and defense preparedness in the
youth by developing the ethics of service and
patriotism while undergoing training in any of its
three (3) program components, namely

Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) - designed to
provide military training to tertiary level students in
order to motivate, train, organize and mobilize them
for national defense preparedness.

Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) refers to
programs or activities contributory to the general
welfare and the betterment of life for the members of
the community or the enhancement of its facilities,
especially those devoted to improving health,
education, environment, entrepreneurship, safety,
recreation and morals of the citizenry.

Literacy Training Service (LTS) designed to train
students to become teachers of literacy and
numeracy skills to school children, out of school
youth, and other segments of society in need of their
service.

Starting Academic Year 2002-2003, all male and
female students enrolled in any baccalaureate or of
at least two (2) year technical/vocational courses are
required to complete the equivalent of two (2)
semesters of any one of the NSTP components listed
above as a requisite for graduation.

Each NSTP component shall be undertaken for a
period of two (2) semesters, with fifty-four (54)
training hours and student load credit of 3 units per
semester.

Under the NSTP law, state universities are required
to offer ROTC and at least one other NSTP
component. Schools may collect not more than 50%
of the current basic tuition for NSTP courses.
