The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is eyeing the rollout of an “enhanced” National Service Training Program (NSTP) which is designed to produce students with civic consciousness, defense preparedness and will act as first responders during national emergencies.

Issuing a statement, CHED Chairman J. Prospero De Vera III said that the commission is partnering with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority and the Department of National Defense to roll out an “improved and strengthened” NSTP.

“This resulted in the high turn-over of NSTP coordinators, concerns about the safety and security of the students during the community immersion, and weak sanctions for HEIs that violated the law and its IRR,” De Vera noted. Given this, De Vera underscored the need to review the NSTP in consideration with the recent developments such as the implementation of Republic Act 10931 or the “Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act” and its effect on the NSTP fund.

De Vera said that CHED will soon issue a Memorandum Order on the NSTP guidelines and standards for common and enhanced module for non-military programs under the NSTP.Given the issues that need to be addressed in implementing the NSTP, De Vera noted that there is a need for CHED, DND and TESDA to “work together” and to “review what has happened in the past years.”
