The NSTP-LTS focuses on training pre-service teachers (PSTs) to become facilitators of literacy and numeracy in marginalized sectors of society, particularly in underprivileged communities. It aims to develop civic responsibility, enhance literacy and numeracy skills, promote community involvement, and build teaching competence. NSTP LTS 11, as a course, is focused on the theoretical component of the whole NSTP. In this course, PSTs are introduced to NSTP and its importance, as well as the role of education in community development. Thus, NSTP LTS 11 prepares PSTs in the community immersion program. At the end of the course, they are expected to plan and develop community capstone projects aimed at developing literacy and numeracy skills. They are expected to apply the design thinking process.
