EDUCATION AND CULTURE

ORGANISATION

Before the formation of Zilla Parishad, education was under the State control and was administered by the Director of Education. Since the establishment of Zilla Parishad, the education came under dual control of the State Government and the Zilla Parishad. The Deputy Director of Education for Vidarbha region is in-charge of education in the State sector.

The Education department of the Zilla Parishad is placed in charge of the Parishad Education Officer who also acts as secretary to the education committee of the Zilla Parishad. He supervises and controls the work of his subordinates. He has also powers to inspect and release grants to the primary and secondary schools in the district. He is also competent to grant authorisation to the primary, middle and secondary schools. The Education Officer is assisted in his work by two Deputy Education Officers. One of them is responsible for inspection and matters relating to the primary education; and the other is entrusted with the administration of secondary education.

All girls' high schools, both primary and secondary, come under the jurisdiction of the Zilla Parishad. The Assistant Deputy Education Officer of the Zilla Parishad inspects the primary schools whereas secondary schools are inspected by the Inspector of schools.
