SCHOOL INSPECTORATE

School inspection is a vital means for monitoring the delivery of education according to stipulated curriculum and set standards. It also ensures efficiency and quality delivery in education. The efficiency and effective delivery of education under the decentralized and liberalized education system as stipulated in the education and Training policy document requires closer monitoring of schools as well as adequate feed-back mechanisms between school inspectors and education agencies, managers and administrators at zonal, regional and district levels.

The School Inspectorate is a department within the Ministry of Education and Culture headed by the Chief Inspector of Schools (CIS) who is also the director of the department. The Chief Inspector of Schools directly reports to the Commissioner of Education. The Chief Inspector of Schools is supported by four sections, namely:

• Management
• Basic Education
• Secondary Education
• Teacher Education.

Each of these four sections is headed by a head of section.
