The examination for district school inspectors consists of two parts: oral and written.
The oral test includes questions about teaching methods, education principles, and educational administration.
The written test focuses on pedagogical science, teaching methods, the subjects taught in primary schools, school inspections, the application of the Law of Public Instruction, school regulations, and relevant educational literature.
These tests ensure that inspectors are fully prepared to supervise schools and support teachers effectively.
