SCHOOL EDUCATION (SERVICES.I) DEPARTMENT  School Education – Creation of (i) 13 MEO-I posts and (ii) 679 MEO-II posts
for effective monitoring of the academic and non academic activities in School Education Department – Orders – Issued.

G.O.Ms.No: 154 Dated:16.09.2022

ORDER:
In
the references 1st to 3rd read above, the Commissioner of School Education has reported that, the Government is giving high priority to
School Education with a vision to create best infrastructure and qualitative in education sector by developing the Education value chain
and improving academic standards. Previously, the workload on the Mandal Educational Officers is limited as there were only a limited number of
schools and limited number of programmes and the MEO could focus equally both on the Academics and the Administration. But, now due to a large
number of programmes are being implemented in the School Education department and increased number of schools, the workload on the MEO, the
first field level officer, has increased enormously and the MEO could neither focus on the Academics nor on the Administration. Therefore, it
is very much essential to have one Mandal Educational Officer for looking aer the academics exclusively and one Mandal Educational Officer
to look after the administration and monitoring of the schemes to meet the requirements of the improved Learning outcomes in the students. To
give effect and to cope up with the rapid administrative and academic reforms introduced in School Education Dept., revamping and the
revisiting of the monitoring system at the field level is essential.

2.
Accordingly, the Commissioner of School Education has submitted proposal to create (679) MEO-II posts mainstreaming with newly
formulated Mandals, purely for monitoring of the academic and non-academic activities and to create additional 13 posts of MEO-I in
addition to the existing (666) sanctioned posts, duly bringing them to the coterminous and bridging with new establishment of Educational
Mandals on par with Revenue Mandals.

3. Government, after careful examination of the matter, hereby accord permission for creation of
