A District Inspector has independent responsibility for the inspection of the schools in her/his district and for the assessment of the work of the teachers, under the direction and supervision of the Divisional Inspector. In order to do this, inspectors need to be well acquainted with the work of the schools in their districts and with the local circumstances which influence the work of both teachers and pupils. Inspectors
familiarise themselves with the work of the schools through observing the interaction between teachers and pupils and through taking and examining classes themselves.
