【Title】 Education Governance through Inspection System in Kenya

【Abstract】 The presentation pays attention to institution on teacher inspection, whose role is a connection between government and school, and its objective is to improve aid efficiency on educational administration through making clear the historical role of inspector or supervisor and their actual monitoring situation in the first secondary education in Kenya.
I will overlook international discussions on quality and governance of education, and examine the view required for monitoring. I will take Kenya as the case study in developing countries. According to SACMEQ result, the education quality in Kenya is higher than the other nations in Africa. I think that one of the crucial reasons is keeping educational governance well, particularly good monitoring system. By studying the Inspectorate (QASO), the system possibly would be applied for improving the quality of education in the other African nations, as well as Kenya itself more.
