MACP Scheme for KV Teachers

MACP Scheme for Kendriya Vidyalaya Teachers – Reply by Human Resource Development and recent Lok Sabha  Question and Answer:

For a query by a member in Lok Sabha, recently to the effect that whether he Assured Career Progression (ACP) scheme, recommended by the Sixth Central Pay Commission, has been accepted by the Government for the teachers working in the Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) and whether the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan has implemented the ACP scheme for its teachers, it was replied by the Minister that the teachers of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan had not opted for ACP Scheme recommended by 5th Pay Commission and not the 6th Central Pay Commission has recommended Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) Scheme.

The reply made by Dr.S.Purandeswari, Minister of State for Human Resource Development was a very cautious one as it did not reveal exactly whether MACP Scheme is in force for Teachers working in Kendriya Vidyalaya School.

Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan implemented Modified Assured career Progression scheme(MACP) for the Non Teaching staff at par with the central govt. employees as per the recommendation of the 6th Pay commission.

However, MACP Scheme is yet to be implemented for Teachers of KVS on the Technical ground that ACP scheme as recommeded by 5th Pay Commission was not opted by KV Teachers.

Since KV Teachers have represented for early implementation of MACP Scheme, KVS and Ministry of Human Resource Development have assured the teachers that MACPS allowed to Non-Teaching staff would also be extended to Teachers and the same is under process.

Following is the letter dated 13.06.2012 of Ministry of Human Resource Development relating to implementation of MACPS to KV Teachers
