Where an education inspector can go next

Education inspectors visit schools to ensure that the staff perform their tasks compliant with educational rules and regulations, as well as overseeing that the school's administration, premises, and equipment conform to regulations. They observe lessons and examine records to assess the school's operation and write reports on their findings. They provide feedback and give advice on improvement, as well as report the results to higher officials. Sometimes they also prepare training courses and organize conferences that the subject teachers should attend.
