Introduction:

Educational Institutions of the Cantt Boards all over Pakistan were taken over by the Federal Ministry of Education in 1975. In September 1977, the administrative and financial control of these schools and colleges was transferred to DAE (Director Army Education). Subsequently, in November 1981, a separate Directorate was created under IGT&E Branch to deal exclusively with the affairs of the Federal Govt. Educational Institutions (FGEIs) in Cantts and Garrisons (C/G). Recently, FGEI Directorate has been declared as an attached department of the Ministry of Defence DEI exercises administrative and financial control over the department and its employees through the authority delegated to him under the Cabinet Division letter issued in September 1977. This is a fundamental document which spells out the functions of this Directorate. FGEI Directorate has a dual role. On the one hand, it is a Directorate of GHQ, on the other it is an attached civil department of the Ministry of Defence with 99.5% of its employees being paid out of the civil establishment.

 

The employees of FGEIs are governed by the Civil Services Rules and enjoy protection to the extent that their cases of indiscipline and inefficiency cannot be dealt with expeditiously. They have a right to appeal before the Federal Service Tribunal against any decision. For appointment and disciplinary actions, the authority of the Director is rested on the employees of BPS-15 AND BELOW. For gazetted employees in  BPS-16 and above the authority for regular appointments, promotions, and disciplinary actions rests totally with the Ministry of Defense, Establishment Division, and Federal Public Service Commission. However, The Director FGEI enjoys full powers of posting and transfers in respect of all categories of civil employees.
