This paper presents the findings from a webinar with Inspectorates of Education from 8 countries, discussing the question: Do we need to redefine practices for school inspections in response to the pandemic?
The second paper from ICSEI Crisis Response in Education Network focuses on priorities for inspection as school systems resume but under a variety of operational scenarios.
Reflections on fundamental questions on the roles and purposes of public exams and how these were not taken adequately into account when deciding on alternative grading arrangements.
As regular school inspections have stopped in many countries, and its not ‘business as usual’, this paper asks should we ‘inspect’ schools, and if so, for what purpose?
