Ministry re-introduces school inspectors

 

The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has said it has re-introduced inspectors in the education system in accordance with the Education Act of 2013, 20 years after they were abandoned.

Minister Emmanuel Fabiano made the announcement on Wednesday in Lilongwe at the launch of the National Education Standards and the Ministry of Education Standards Charter.

Fabiano said re-introducing inspectors was a necessary move as the national education standards would demand provision of effective mechanisms for monitoring, evaluating and enforcing their implementation.

He said the core business of the inspectors will be to ensure that all stakeholders adhere to the Education Act of 2013 and the set standards.

The ministry abandoned the use of school inspectors 20 years ago and introduced primary education advisers (PEAs) who only played an advisory role to teachers, a move some education stakeholders blame for the country’s dwindling education standards.—Mana
