Home Teaching & Education 2019 DepEd Guidelines for Master Teacher Promotion
By
Share
DepEd Order No. 29, s. 2002 (Merit Selection Plan of the Department of Education (DepEd)) clearly
states that it is the policy of the department to strictly adhere to the principles of merit, competence,
fitness, and equality, and that the selection and promotion of employees shall always be based on their
relative qualifications and competence to perform die duties and responsibilities of the position.
To achieve this objective, various issuances were issued by the Department of Education for the
selection, promotion, and appointment of various levels of position available in the department. For
School Heads, DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2007 was established; while for other Other-Teaching, Related-
Teaching and Non-Teaching positions, DepEd Order No. 66, s. 2007 is being utilized. On the other hand,
various references are being used in the selection and promotion of Master Teacher position, such as
MEC Order No. 10, s 1979, MEC Order No. 29, s 1979, and DECS Order No. 70, s. 1988.
However, most of the said issuances have gray areas that often lead to the different interpretation of
the personnel selection board. Thus, to further achieve the principles of merit and fitness, and the
objectivity and uniformity in the assessment and evaluation, these clarificatory guidelines are issued.
