NSTP (LTS) Activity 1

1. Give your own perspective about the VMGO of BISU?
Two of the most crucial phases in developing a successful program are establishing the school's
VMGO. When done correctly, they provide a school with clarity and direction. A muddled vision or
mission can contribute to ongoing conflicts and a school that struggles to set priorities.
The VMGO statements serve as a focal point for bringing everyone on board with the school and
ensuring that everyone is working toward the same goal. This improves the organization's efficiency and
production.
Knowing about Bohol Island State University's VMGO let me understand how reliable and efficient
it is for students. The school demonstrates how much they value their learning system and want to
demonstrate to students that they provide a higher-quality education. They want to demonstrate that
they are one of the top universities in Bohol and the country.

Male and female college students enrolled in any baccalaureate degree program or technical
vocational program at public or private educational institutions are required to complete one of three
program components over the course of two semesters under the NSTP Program. Students, on the other
hand, have the option of picking and choosing which curriculum components they choose to participate
in. The three components of the NSTP Program are:
Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS)
This program component is intended to give students with opportunities to participate in
activities that contribute to the general welfare and betterment of community members' lives,
particularly those that are meant to strengthen social welfare services.
Literacy Training Service (LTS)
This program component teaches students how to teach literacy and numeracy to
schoolchildren and out-of-school youngsters. The goal is to keep learning through peer-to-peer
contact.
Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC)
This program component aims to provide students with military education and training in
order to prepare them for national defense. This is also a chance for young people to get a glimpse of
military life and be inspired to join.
Graduates of the ROTC program join the Citizen Armed Force, while graduates of the
LTS and CWTS programs join the National Service Reserve Corps (NSRC), which is overseen by the
Department of Defense, the Commission on Higher Education, and the Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority.
