2019 DEPED GUIDELINE S FOR

MASTER TEACHER PROMO TION

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.
