Study Notes

RA 9163: NSTP Act of 2011

RA 9163, known as the NSTP Act, targets tertiary students to reform the ROTC program in response to public demand.
Signed into law by former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on July 23, 2002, implemented in school year 2002-2003 for all Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
Aims to enhance defense preparedness and patriotism among the youth through training based on three program components.
Requires first-year baccalaureate and associate degree students to complete one NSTP component for graduation.

Program Implementation

NSTP components administered by NSTP Coordinator, with students choosing their preferred program.
Each component is completed over two semesters, earning three academic units (54-90 training hours per semester).
NSTP I must be completed before taking NSTP II, ensuring sequential completion of the same component.
Students who have completed ROTC can enroll in Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) or Literacy Training Service (LTS) as long as they complete the required components.
A One Summer Program (OSP) may replace the standard two-semester requirement, subject to school and AFP capability.
Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials in good standing are exempt from the NSTP course but must submit reports on their activities.
NSTP units do not contribute to the students' Grade Point Average (GPA).
NSTP graduates receive a serial number for their Transcript of Records (TOR), issued by CHED for CWTS/LTS and by the Department of National Defense for ROTC graduates.
