under Additional Municipal Commissioner). For better distribution of work there
are three Additional Directors. At the zonal level, the department is headed by
Deputy Education Officer (DEO) supported by 1-3 Assistant Education Officer
(AEO). For the regular monitoring of Schools, there are School Inspectors having
on an average 30-40 school. There are four categories of School inspectors-
General, Nursery, Physical Education and Science. As the name suggests they are
either for the general or for special purpose. At present there are 60 school
inspectors. They report to the AEO or the DEO as the case may be. School is
headed by the Head Master. There are about 22000 sanctioned post of Primary
School teachers in MCD Schools.
Political Structure
A Statutory Education Committee comprising of 7 counselors and headed
A Statutory Education Committee comprising of 7 counselors and headed
by the chairman is formed for a period of one year. The Director Primary Education
is the ex-officio Secretary of the Education Committee and all policy matters have
to be cleared by this committee and placed before standing committee. Any
decision which has financial component has to be approved by the House.
In pursuance with the 74th Constitutional Amendment 1992, there are 12 Ward committees
constituted in Delhi-one for each ward. From the Education Department, the DEO is the

committee plays a very important role.
Appointment and control of Academic and Administrative staff
Permanent teachers in MCD School are appointed on the recommendation of Delhi
Permanent teachers in MCD School are appointed on the recommendation of Delhi
Subordinate Service Selection Board (DSSSB). The board which is an autonomous
body under the Government of NCT Delhi conducts the written exams for teachers’
selection on the basis of requirements sent to it by the MCD. The board is also
required to conducts exam for the direct appointment of 50% of the School
Inspectors and 25% of the Head Masters. Appointments of 50% of AEO & DEO
are through a direct recruitment by Union Public Service Commission and the rest
through promotions where seniority is one of the most important criteria. The direct
recruitment of Head Masters has not yet commenced due to procedural reasons.
The Director is appointed by the MCD either by way of promotion of the senior
most Additional Director or any civil servant from generalist cadre as the post is not
considered as specialist. The 3 senior most DEOs are promoted to the post of
Additional director to share the burden of work from Director.

Department is governed by Central Civil Services Conduct Rule. However, the politically
active committees have immense power with respect to transfer and posting of teachers and
other education officers.
Training
The Pre-service training of MCD teachers are conducted by DIETs
(District Institute of Education Training) and after recruitment the in-service
teacher training is conducted by MCD’s own teacher training institute. However,
above the teacher i.e. Head Masters onwards there is no structured mechanism for
imparting training on education administration.
