“This is a high school that will give our students a quality and enhanced secondary education program, integrated with a special curriculum on sports. Our students will be housed and trained in world-class sports facilities which are at par with international standards,” Gatchalian said.
“We want to support aspiring athletes at the earliest possible opportunities so we would look for those who have the potential and train them in world-class facilities,” he added. Once enacted into law, the main campus of the NAS will be established at the existing New Clark City Sports Complex in Capas, Tarlac and will be attached to the Department of Education together with the Philippine Sports Commission .
In his State of the Nation Address in 2019, President Rodrigo Duterte expressed his support towards the move to create NAS for high school students.
