hook_node_type_insert is not invoked

I try to add some fields to content type through this hook as it done in node_example module in Drupal 7 examples but it's not even invoked. What can be wrong? 

function education_node_type_insert($content_type){
            $fields = _anketa_installed_fields();
            foreach($fields as $field){
                field_create_field($field);
            }

            $instances = _anketa_installed_instances();
            foreach($instances as $instance){
                $instance['entity_type'] = 'node';
                $instance['bundle'] = 'anketa';
                field_create_field($instance);
            }
    }

Why don't you use hook_node_insert?

It's a working example for adding components to every new webform:

/**
 * Implements hook_node_insert().
 */
function modulename_node_insert($node) {
  if($node->type == 'webform' && $node->is_new) {
    module_load_include('inc', 'webform', 'includes/webform.components');

    $components = array();
    $components[0] = array(
      'name' => 'Submitted Page URL',
      'nid' => $node->nid,
      'form_key' => 'hidden_submitted_page_url',
      'type' => 'hidden',
      'mandatory' => 0,
      'weight' => 99,
      'pid' => 0,
      'value' => '',
      'required' => 0,
      'extra' => array(
        'hidden_type' => 'hidden',
        'description' => '',
        'wrapper_classes' => 'hidden-submitted-page-url-wrap',
        'css_classes' => 'hidden-submitted-page-url',
        'private' => 0,
      ),
    );
    $components[1] = array(
      'name' => 'Referrer Page URL',
      'nid' => $node->nid,
      'form_key' => 'hidden_referrer_page_url',
      'type' => 'hidden',
      'mandatory' => 0,
      'weight' => 99,
      'pid' => 0,
      'value' => '',
      'required' => 0,
      'extra' => array(
        'hidden_type' => 'hidden',
        'description' => '',
        'wrapper_classes' => 'hidden-referrer-page-url-wrap',
        'css_classes' => 'hidden-referrer-page-url',
        'private' => 0,
      ),
    );
    foreach ($components as $component) {
      webform_component_insert($component);
    }
  }
}

You will need to actually delete your node type manually after the first install.

function example_uninstall () {
  node_type_delete ('my_type');
}

There are probably good reasons why Drupal doesn't do this by default: what's the correct behaviour?

When you disable a node module and uninstall it Drupal doesn't clear out the entries in the node_type table for the node types associated with your module (i would call this a bug in Drupal core). If those entries remain; the hook_node_type_insert hook does not get run when you re-enable the module.

If you first delete those entries manually from the node_type table; the hook should run.

Had you already run this before trying to add the fields? Because the education_node_type_insert($type) function is not called if the node type $type is already in the node_type database table, which it will be after the first time that this is run.

I think the correct way to do this is to add the fields in an implementation of hook_install instead (in yourmod.install, and checking at the same time whether they've already been added perhaps).

Also, during development, you need to uninstall-reinstall (e.g. drush dis -y yourmod && drush uninstall -y yourmod && drush en -y yourmod) every time you make a change to the fields.

When working on custom modules - whether building, debugging, QAing, migrating, updating, etc- the following steps often help. Without looking at your code closely, I'd suggest trying these steps:

Disable the module, uninstall/reinstall (if ok to wipe the module data from the DB), re-enable the module then run update.php. Check Drupal & PHP/MySQL logs, run cron.php clear browser & Drupal cache, logout & log back in, edit roles & perms. Rinse. Repeat... often knocks unexplainable issues loose.

Also this all assumes you've already confirmed overall module architecture & function name/spellings are ok. If all else fails, try installing on another instance to see if the issue can be replicated.

Have you tried uninstalling (Not disable, but really uninstall after you disable it from Uninstall tab) the module and re-enabling it again?
