The construction of inspector responsibility area is an important part of the construction of educational supervision system. Strengthening the construction of inspector's responsibility area is an important measure to implement the requirement of "paying equal attention to government and supervision" in the educational planning outline, promote the institutionalization and normalization of inspector's work, and strengthen the supervision of primary and secondary schools, which is conducive to timely understanding and mastering the working conditions of primary and secondary schools, discovering existing problems and deficiencies, guiding and urging primary and secondary schools to standardize school-running behavior, and improving the quality of education and teaching. At the same time, through the supervision and inspection of primary and secondary education and teaching work in the responsible area, we can find typical cases in time, sum up the promotion experience, and put forward suggestions for improvement of primary and secondary school work, which can provide decision-making reference for the government and education administrative departments to promote education reform and development.

Principles and functions of establishing inspector's responsibility area

In accordance with the principle of "adapting measures to local conditions, grading responsibility, comprehensive coverage and promoting work", inspector responsibility areas are established at the provincial, municipal and county levels respectively. Local education supervision departments at all levels should, according to the layout of primary and secondary schools and the number of students in their respective administrative areas, proceed from the actual work of "inspectors" and reasonably determine the number of inspectors' responsibility areas. The number of schools in a responsible area should generally be controlled within 20, covering all primary and secondary schools to ensure the quality of supervision.

The provincial inspector responsibility area shall be established by the provincial education supervision department. The main function is to guide the work of the inspector's responsibility area at the city and county levels, conduct random inspection and guidance on the relevant work of the city (prefecture) and county education administrative departments and education supervision departments and the education and teaching work of primary and secondary schools, and supervise and guide the construction of the county-level inspector's responsibility area.

City and county inspector responsibility areas were established by the city and county education supervision departments. The main function of the municipal inspector responsibility area is to conduct random supervision and inspection of ordinary high schools (including private schools) and schools directly under the jurisdiction. The main function of the county-level inspector responsibility area is to conduct random supervision and inspection of schools (including private schools) with nine-year compulsory education and below in this area.

Local inspectors at all levels are responsible for implementing the main functions of their respective areas of responsibility, and inspectors shall be appointed by people's governments at all levels.
