This means ensuring that schools comply with national education policies on administrative, technical and legal matters, and advising principals on compliance with school planning, management, and evaluation regulations. School supervisors are in regular contact with schools, visit them at least once or twice per year, and request from them a variety of reports (e.g., time arrivals, attendance). In 2010, the MEP clarified the roles of school supervisors to ensure greater consistency in supervision practices across schools and prevent unnecessary interference that could limit school leadership and autonomy (MEP, 2014). The 2012 initiative More Education and Less Paperwork {Mas Educacion, Menos Papeleo) sought to identify processes, controls and requirements that could be simplified or withdrawn.
