What is required of students participating in the NSTP?

Students participating in the National Service Training Program (NSTP) are required to participate in only one component of the program, which can include options like the Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS), Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), or Literacy Training Service (LTS). This structure is designed to allow students to choose a component that aligns with their interests and strengths while ensuring they fulfill their service requirements.

The NSTP is aimed at enhancing civic consciousness and defense preparedness in the youth, which is why it provides multiple components from which students can engage. This flexibility ensures that students can dedicate their time effectively to a specific area that resonates with them, rather than forcing them to complete all components or engage in activities outside of the program's primary focus, such as sports or additional subjects. By participating in one chosen component, students can develop their skills and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
