The main scope of educational supervision is general primary and secondary education, preschool education and other related educational work. At this stage, the focus of education supervision is nine-year compulsory education and education to eliminate illiteracy among young people. Educational supervision is mainly carried out by educational supervisors. Educational supervision, also known as inspector, can be full-time or part-time.
Inspectors should meet the political and professional conditions stipulated by the state, receive necessary training, and be approved by the people's government at the same level or the education administrative department of the government, and issue inspectors' certificates. When carrying out supervision activities, supervisors may attend the meetings and activities of the supervised unit as nonvoting delegates, ask the supervised unit to provide documents and reports related to the supervision matters, or conduct on-site investigations on the supervised unit.
After completing the supervision task, the inspector shall report the supervision results to the people's government at the corresponding level, the administrative department of education and the superior supervision institution, and put forward opinions and suggestions, which can be announced to the public.
Ordinary primary and secondary schools and other relevant educational institutions that accept supervision shall give support and cooperation to the supervision work and assist inspectors to do a good job in educational supervision. Units and individuals that interfere with education supervision should be criticized and educated, and if the circumstances are serious, they should be punished.

Educational supervision, also known as "educational supervision". 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. Education supervision can enable leading organs to grasp the actual situation of education development at all levels, provide reliable basis for decision-making, help grass-roots units improve their work and improve the quality of education, teaching and management.
The National Regulations on Education Supervision (Draft for Comment) published in 2009 divides education supervision into comprehensive supervision and special supervision. In the grass-roots supervision work, sometimes the educational institutions (schools, kindergartens) within the jurisdiction are randomly supervised, which is called follow-up supervision.
Comprehensive supervision and special supervision are activities that, according to the principles and standards of supervision, use scientific methods, analyze and evaluate educational administration and school work through observation, investigation and evaluation, point out achievements and shortcomings, and put forward positive suggestions for revision, so as to continuously improve the quality of educational work.
