The Research on the MOE’s Policy of Integrated Inspection of Local Educational Affairs

[[abstract]]教育部對地方教育事務一年一度的統合視導是每個地方政府都高度重視的年度重要業務，自實施統合視導以來，教育部幾乎將其所有與地方有關之教育政策全數納入統合視導之中，透過統合視導的實施，教育部貫徹有關地方教育之政策，並且高度的掌控了地方的教育事務。 本研究基於為深入探討教育部統合視導之內涵、進一步了解中央與地方教育事務分權機制、提供統合視導合理之內涵及實施方式之參考等目的而進行本研究。 本研究採用文件分析法，深入瞭解教育部統合視導政策之脈絡與其深層意義，透過對統合視導文件資料收集，對文件內容進行深入分析，以發現、證明文件內容的背景及其意義，並經由這些文件分析進一步發現統合視導之問題。 本研究發現教育部統合視導政策存在著以下幾個主要問題：（一）統合視導之指標內涵過於瑣碎，偏離政策指導目的。（二）各單位指標仍存在評分標準及內容寬嚴不一之問題。（三）統合視導之部分指標設計有侵犯地方自治權責之嫌。（四）統合視導實施方式勞師動眾、費時過久，嚴重干擾地方政府正常業務。（五）教育部尚有其他業務單獨辦理地方視導有待整合。 本研究基於所發現之問題，就視導原理、法制及實務運作等面向提出參考之建議，並以現代教育視導原理及教育基本法第九條之精神，期許中央與地方政府以民主、合作、服務、協調、協助的關係，共同努力提供學生更好的受教品質作為主要結論。[[abstract]]The annual MOE integrated inspection of local educational affairs is the annual high priority business of every local government. MOE has brought almost every policy of local educational affairs into the scope of integrated inspection since the integrated inspection was first conducted. Through the integrated inspection, MOE effectively implements the local educational affairs policies, and highly controls local educational affairs as well. The purposes of this research were as follows: it first thoroughly investigated the intention of MOE’s integrated inspection; next, it tried to understand the mechanism of differentiating the central educational affairs from the local ones; and finally, it would provide reasonable scope and implementation of integrated inspection for reference. This research adopted the document analysis method, and investigated the development and meaning of integrated inspection in depth. We collected documents of integrated inspection and analyzed their contents to find and prove the background and meaning of these documents. We found some issues about integrated inspection through further analyzing these documents. This research found the following main issues about the MOE integrated inspection: 1. The contents of the integrated inspection indices were too trivial, and led to deviate from the purpose of policy guidance; 2. The evaluation standards and content stringency of the indices of different departments were not consistent; 3. The design of part of the integrated inspection seemed to infringe upon the authority of local government; 4. The integrated inspection took too much manpower and time, thus, it seriously interfered the routine of local government; 5. Some MOE’s work are still performed independently, and they should be merged into the integrated inspection. Based on the issues discussed, this research makes recommendation from the perspectives of supervision theory, rules of law, and practical operation. Our conclusion is that based on modern education supervision theory and the essence of the Article 9 of Educational Fundamental Act, we hope central and local governments can work hand-in-hand to provide better quality of education to students with democratic, cooperative, serving, harmony and helping relationship.[[note]]碩
