School inspection is a measure for monitoring and evaluating teaching and learning in pre-tertiary education in many countries. However, in postsecondary education, supervisors perform teaching tasks without external monitoring and evaluating their practices. Currently, most tertiary education institutions are multicultural learning centers with students and academics with different perceptions and experiences of the roles and responsibilities of teachers and students. In addition, when students complain about teachers' practices, they do not receive fair judgment from those currently dealing with supervision cases, hence dropping out or changing the supervisor.

Therefore, the author suggests establishing an independent inspection unit to deal with supervision issues in each university. Elizabeth proposes that the unit consists of four main sections; thus, the section on supervision appointment, assessment, and training. Likewise, the department should consider resolving disputes and grading with the certifying mandate. Reading this book can help initiate a debate about the inspection in higher education supervision.
