ORGANISATION
Formerly the entire primary education was under the control of the Government. After the passing of the Primary Education Act of 1922. in the ex-Bombay Province, District School Boards and Municipal School Boards were formed and the administration of the primary education was vested in them. The District School Board was directly under the control of the District Local Board and Municipal School Boards were under the respective Local Municipal Committees They were allowed to appoint their own Administrative Officers whereas the appointments of the inspecting staff were taken over by Government. The administration of primary schools was left with the District and Municipal School Boards with effect from 1938. The Deputy Educational Inspector and some Assistant Deputy Educational Inspectors were appointed by Government in each district inspection of primary schools. Afterwards Government passed the Compulsory Primary Education Act in 1947 and some posts of Assistant Administrative Officers and supervisors were also created by the Government for the implementation of the scheme. The position of the inspecting branch was slightly modified in 1953 when each district was given a separate Educational Inspector, who was mainly in charge of inspection of secondary schools in the district, but was given the added responsibility of giving guidance to the primary schools also. The inspection of primary schools was mainly left to the Deputy Educational Inspector of the District and his Assistants. In 1955-56. the number of Assistant Deputy Educational Inspectors in the district was 54. After the formation of the Zilla Parishad the District Educational Inspector's office was abolished and both inspection as well as administration of primary and secondary education was placed under the administrative control of the Zilla Parishad. The right of selecting graduate teachers for secondary schools and for the inspecting branch was transferred to the Divisional Selection Board, Pune. The
