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, tness, and equality, and that the selection and promotion of employees
shall always be based on their relative quali cations 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 tness, and the objectivity and uniformity in the assessment and evaluation, these
clari catory guidelines are issued.
