2. OVERVIEW THE COURSE
National Service Training Program
(NSTP) is a program 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. OVERVIEW THE COURSE
HOW CAN NSTP ENHANCE CIVIC
CONSCIOUSNESS AND DEFENSE PREPAREDNESS ?
Since NSTP is training, civic consciousness can be
enhanced by doing community immersion which is an
integral part of Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS)
and Literacy Training Service (LTS) while defense
preparedness is enhanced through the Reserve Officer
Training Corps (ROTC).
4. 1. Reserve Officers’ Training Corps
(ROTC)
refers to the program
component, institutionalized under
Section 38 & 39 of Republic Act No.
7077, designed to provide military
training to tertiary level students in
order to motivate, train, organize and
mobilize them for national defense
preparedness.
6. 2. Literacy Training Service (LTS)
refers to the program component
designed to train the students to teach
literacy and numeracy skills to school
children, out-of-school youths and other
segments of society which are
considerably in need of their services.
8. 3. Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS)
refers to the program component of
activities contributory to the general
welfare and the betterment of life for the
members of the community or the
enhancement of their facilities, especially
those devoted to improving health,
education, environment, entrepreneurship,
safety, recreation and moral values of the
citizenry and other social welfare services.
11. It is needed in a college’s curriculum
because it stills in our youth a sense of
patriotism for our country. It also prepares
them to be socially aware and responsible
individual members of the community.
12. This program is useful because students train
to become well-disciplined and efficient. NSTP
courses are effective in teaching self-improvement,
performance, and community involvement.
