A Call for Inspection Unit for Research Students' Supervision

School inspection is a measure for monitoring and evaluating teaching and learning in pre-tertiary education in many countries. However, in postsecondary education, supervisors perform teaching tasks without external monitoring and evaluating their practices. Currently, most tertiary education institutions are multicultural learning centers with students and academics with different perceptions and experiences of the roles and responsibilities of teachers and students. In addition, when students complain about teachers' practices, they do not receive fair judgment from those currently dealing with supervision cases, hence dropping out or changing the supervisor. Therefore, the author suggests establishing an independent inspection unit to deal with supervision issues in each university. Elizabeth proposes that the unit consists of four main sections; thus, the section on supervision appointment, assessment, and training. Likewise, the department should consider resolving disputes and grading with the certifying mandate. Reading this book can help initiate a debate about the inspection in higher education supervision. However, when students complain about teachers' practices, they do not receive fair judgment from those currently dealing with supervision cases, hence dropping out or changing the supervisor. Indeed, universities worldwide suffer from a student attrition pandemic, and in some countries, half of the people commencing higher education withdraw. Therefore, the author suggests establishing an independent inspection unit to deal with supervision issues in each University. Elizabeth proposes that the unit consists of four main sections; thus, the section on supervision appointment, assessment and training, dispute resolution, and grading and certifying. Furthermore, the department should employ experienced professors working fairly and independently with all supervision cases. However, the specific tasks of officials in the sections can be regulated based on the University's structure and practice. Significantly, supervision disputes should fall in the hands of experts with supervision knowledge and skills operating independently of the institution's management and leadership. Finally, the author provides a model for the department, which may be modified or adopted by universities. So, reading, agreeing, and implementing ideas can support many students to complete their studies, attain their learning goals, and graduate. So, let us join Elizabeth and fight student attrition together. Thanks.
