SUMMARY

NSTP as a graduation requirement is implemented by the DND, CHED, and TESDA. The NSTP Act of
2001 or Republic Act No. 9163 has made ROTC optional and introduced LTS and CWTS as new alternatives,
thus making NSTP a three-prolonged program on citizenship training.

NSTP provides a policy framework on volunteerism that underscores the fundamental principle to harmonize
the broad and diverse efforts of the volunteer sector of the country into and integrative and effective
partnership for local and national development as well as international cooperation and understanding. It
sets a mechanism to protect the rights and privileges of the youth in recognition of their roles and
contributions to the development of society.
