II. COURSE DESCRIPTION:

• The Literacy Training Service as a component of the National Service
Training Program (NSTP) is intended to develop in the participating
college students the competencies needed to become teachers of
literacy and numeracy among non-readers in school, out-of-school
children, and even adults needing help in reading, writing, and simple
arithmetic. College students who complete this program may be called
upon to use their competencies in the service of the country as
required by the law (RA 9163).
• The LTS 1 is designed to enhance personality development and moral
standards through self-awareness, value formation, and leadership
skills, integrating common areas in NSTP like drug education, disaster
awareness, preparedness and management, environmental protection,
and national security concerns, as preparation for community work
which specifically, is the teaching of basic literacy (reading and
writing) numeracy (use of numbers). It is utmost importance that the
youth enrolled in LTS 1 learns to understand the needs of a basically
illiterate individual, who not only lacks the skills in communication but
most likely suffer from feelings of inadequacy and incompetence. The
students striving for their own personality improvement will go a long
way to preparing them for teaching basic literacy and numeracy.
IV. COURSE OBJECTIVES:

• Gain competency on the true meaning of RA 9163 as a law developing

the youth in building the nation.
