Students from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s will remember that a visit by the inspector was something their teachers looked forward to. In anticipation of an inspection, the teacher would ensure that the register (showing personal identification, attendance and absences) was always kept neatly up-to-date, since this was one item that was always examined to be sure that children were in regular attendance. The inspector would also check to see that the course of study for a class was being followed and that a timetable was posted, showing the daily schedules. He/she would examine a few students’ notebooks, listen to several read and question them on various subjects to ascertain if the subjects were being taught adequately. School inspection was more an overseeing of the teacher rather than of the school, but likely the cleanliness and neatness of the school were also scrutinised. ![]() The Papua New Guinea Defence Force (PNGDF) has announced the 2021 recruitment list.
