Abstract

THE CANADIAN EDUCATION ASSOCIATION PROJECT IN EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP W. G. WALKERI Education in Canada is a provincial matter, as it is a state matter in Australia. Each of the ten provinces is responsible for the administration of public education within its own borders, but unlike the Australian states the Canadian provinces have delegated many of the functions of educational organization, administration and supervision to area boards of trustees, of which there are some 765 in operation. Inspectors of schools (known as superintendents in some provinces) are appointed both by provincial education departments and by local authorities. In Ontario for example, the province employs many inspectors, but school districts employing more than one hundred teachers are also required to appoint their own inspectors, who, however, must have the same minimum qualifications as provincial inspectors, and must receive ministerial approval before appointment. In general, the qualifications and experience of Canadian inspectors on appointment are rather like those of their Australian colleagues. Minimum requirements for the office of inspector in Ontario are five years' teaching experience, a bachelor's degree and some progress towards a post-graduate degree, and satisfactory performance in written and oral examinations on aspects of educational administration and supervision.
