Department of Inspection and Audit is a Bangladesh government regulatory agency under the Ministry of Education. [1] [2] [3]

History

The Department of Inspection and Audit traces its origin to a high powered committee formed in 1979 and led by Kazi Anwarul Haque. The purpose of the committee was to examine the education sector and provide recommendations for improvement. It recommended the establishment of a pay scale for private sector schools to end a discrepancy between the wages of private and public sector teachers. The government decided to approve the separate pay scale of private teachers from 1 January 1980. The committee had also recommended the formation of Directorate of Inspection and Control to monitor the distribution of funds and quality control in the private education sector. Accordingly, the government of Bangladesh created the Department of Inspection and Audit under the Ministry of Education on 1 October 1980. It was modelled after Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education in Scotland. [4]

The Department for Education is a state government department delivering school education throughout the state. Education in Australia at school level is managed by each state, though the Commonwealth government makes a significant contribution. The Department was established through the Education Act of 1875 which allowed for the establishment of public schools and contained provisions for compulsory schooling of children aged between 7 and 13. As the state grew quickly into the 20th Century the Education Department expanded across the very large rural areas of the state. Post World War 2, rising birth rates, large scale immigration and increasing demand for secondary education led to very rapid growth in the Department. The number of Private schools grew in this period and with increasing State aid provided growing competition for the State education sector. In the post war period several of large reviews of education have taken place: in particular the Karmel and Keeves reviews. In 2017 there were 514 Schools and approximately 172,000 students within the Department.
