School Inspectors' Reports 1974-1991 JSON

This series comprises District Inspectors' reports on schools, copies of which were kept by the Department of Public Instruction (after 1957 known as the Department of Education), and the schools: a copy of each Inspection Report was sent to the school and to the Department.

Each pro - forma Inspection Report includes the school name, the school number, the class being assessed, the date of the inspection in full, and the total number of male and female students present. There is also an assessment of the school according to the following categories: 1. school administrative records; 2. school 'government ' or discipline; 3. organization, which includes sufficient accommodation, classification of pupils, teaching standard and experience; 5. proficiency and progress of pupils; 6. care of grounds; 7. school, games and physical exercise; 8. general conditions; and 9. general remarks.

Education Regional Districts are: Brisbane South, Brisbane North, Brisbane West, Central Queensland, Darling Downs, Wide Bay, South West, North West and Northern [this includes the Islands of the Torres Strait].

Education Department reports are filed according to Education Regional district, then alphabetically by school name, and chronologically by date of report; reports kept by schools are chronological by date of report under the school name.

Reports may not have been issued for some schools for some years, and not all reports may have been received by Queensland State Archives; there may, therefore, be gaps in the date ranges listed.
