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.
