What is NSTP?
Republic Act 9163 enabled the establishment of the National Service Training Program for Tertiary
Level students intending to promote civic consciousness among the youth, instill in them the meaning of
nationalism, and advance their involvement in public and civic affairs.
NSTP is a program designed to develop the youth’s physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social
well-being and promote defense readiness and ethics of service while undergoing training in any of its
three program components.
The NSTP has three components, which are as follows:
i. Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC)
A program institutionalized under Sections 38 and 39 of Republic Act No. 7077 intended to provide
military training to tertiary level students to stimulate, train, organize and mobilize them for national
defense preparedness.
ii. Literacy Training Service (LTS)
A program designed to build students to become teachers of literacy and numeracy skills to
schoolchildren, out of school youth, and other segments of society in need of their service.
iii. Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS)
It is composed of 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.
Who are required to complete the NSTP?
Students of any baccalaureate degree course or at least two-year technical vocational courses in public
and private educational institutions shall be required to complete one of the NSTP components as
requisite for graduation.
