Abstract

O. R. Jones's paper “The Inspectorate in New South Wales” contains several inconsistencies and contradictions and reveals a disturbingly uncritical attitude. The terms he uses are not clearly defined but the implication of the terms is that neither inspectors nor teachers in New South Wales enjoy a measure of professional freedom consistent with their role in a democratic community. Certainly no attempt is made to deduce the assumptions underlying the criteria of inspection, and to examine their validity.
