It is an activity that educational leading organs exercise the duty of inspection and supervision on behalf of the state, and inspect, supervise and guide the work of lower-level organs and schools at all levels.

The supervision function is the core, and it is also the function that can best reflect the essential attributes of educational supervision institutions. Its purpose is to enable the subordinate departments to implement the educational principles and policies at all levels quickly, effectively, accurately and actively, and complete the tasks of education, teaching and education management. Without or weakening this function, educational supervision institutions will lose their meaning of existence or cannot function normally at all.
