school inspector

Classroom quality assessor

A school inspector is an official who evaluates schools to ensure they meet educational standards.

Inspectors assess teaching quality, student achievement, facilities, and administrative practices, then report their findings to governing authorities.

The role varies by country—in Britain, Ofsted inspectors conduct formal reviews, while in the U.S., similar functions fall to state education department officials.

The school inspector observed three classrooms before meeting with the principal.
