| Educational inspection district refers to the fact that the government education supervision department divide all the primary and secondary schools into a number of inspection districts, where inspectors are sent to inspect, superintend and promote the enforcement of educational regulations and policies ,then, full-scale quality education can be totally performed.This article aims to systematically study the current situation of educational inspection in a county, find out the problems in practice, and presents concrete policies on how to build standard educational inspection districts. To better illustrate it, I will take Linqu County as an example. In this section, I will compare educational inspection district system home and abroad ,giving a clear picture of how educational inspection district system works in origin.Educational inspection system originated from western countries . In 1839,the U.K. set the position as educational inspectors first, whose job was to inspect, superintend and guide the education in his district. On the whole, the government divided the whole nation into eight zones, each zone contains 8-10 sub-districts . Hence, a stable and mature educational inspection system came into being. The America, France , and Japan adopted the same system as well. In the meanwhile, the duty of an educational inspector is concrete and specific. The educational inspection system arose in China was comparatively late, so it is of great significance to study educational inspection district system in a county both in theory and in practice.The practice and its effects in Linqu County are as follows: From the year 2008, the educational inspection district system was put into force in this county. Basically , as many as 202 schools in this county are divided into eight districts, and 51 inspectors will perform the inspection in their districts at least twice every month, and then report it to the office. The educational inspection office will gather all the information and inform the government, the education department and the society in the form of a report. when problems arise, inspectors will supervise them till the end and make sure the problems are solved timely and properly.The educational inspection district system in Linqu county not only regulates the teachers'behavior, and solves some outstanding problems such as excessive burden of elementary and Secondary Students, random collect fees, security risks and so on, but also provides an effective guarantee for promoting an overall quality education as well as establishing a good image of the education. The problems existing in the educational inspection district system in Linqu county are listed as follows:1. Inspectors are not given sufficient authorities, they have no management matters or administrative power, all they have is the power to make suggestions.2. The division of their duty is ambiguous ,which causes great inconvenience for inspections.3. The structure of inspection staff is not reasonable. There are only four full-time inspectors, the rest are part-time inspectors, who can't have enough work time. Besides, there are only 21 undergraduates, covering 41.18%, only 17 people major in education, covering 33.33%, 57.1% of the staff haven't received any education or training in education assessment and inspection.4. The inspection quality and inspection frequency differ greatly in different schools.The concrete countermeasures in building the educational inspection district system are as follows:1. Divide the educational inspection district properly, covering all schools in the county. According to the rules, inspection should cover towns and rural areas, also , for convenience, inspection should be carried out according to their locations, make sure that all schools are properly divided, and avoid strip-division.2. Transform management methods in education and strengthen the construction of inspection staff. Try to choose excellent principals and management staff as full- time inspectors. On the other hand, employ some teaching and learning research staff as part time inspectors. The percentage should tie .The new school inspectors should receive adequate training.3. mprove the working system and carry out the requirements in duty districts and the power and the duty of inspectors should be clear. Based on the number of schools, inspectors should arrange the inspections properly, make concrete plans and have definite working methods and requirements.4. Emphasize the assessment and make sure the duty is fully performed. Set a thousand-point assessment system. Evaluate the school inspectors according to the marks they get in performing their inspection duty, making it the only standard to evaluate school inspectors. Make rules to promulgate school inspectors according to their performance in duty, improper behaviors cause complaints of the masses, and once investigated or promulgated by superior departments, the school inspectors and the school shall be promulgated together.
