In late 1995, because of the realization that the Department of Education was being swamped with youth and student-related
projects, activities and participation up to the school level that cut across the domains of existing bureaus and centers,
and the consequent need to respond effectively and regulate their influx, a Youth Task Force was created to address these
concerns.
This task force repined in 1998 into a special office under the Office of the Secretary and is now referred
to as the Center for Students and Co-Curricular Affairs (CSCA) through the issuance of DECS Order No. 2, s. 1998 and amended
by DECS Order No. 62, s. 2000.
Our Mission
Skills Enhancement
The CSCA established the Student Technologists and Entrepreneurs of the Philippines both as a program
and as an organization. Its major components are the STEP National Skills Development and Competition and the STEP Awards
which are held annually.
