Yes. NSTU recognises collective representation and organisational structures for its faculty members and officers through active Teachers’ and Officers’ Associations, both governed by democratically elected committees addressing professional and institutional matters. Student representation is ensured through a formal Student Council Policy, supported by the Students’ Counselling and Guidance Office, which oversees 57 student clubs and organisations that foster inclusivity and leadership.
Committee memberships are open to all genders, with at least one reserved role for women in each committee, ensuring equitable participation in governance. Although no separate union exists for international staff (as there are no full-time international staff members in this institution), NSTU remains committed to inclusive representation and fair participation across its entire community.
