He is primarily responsible for the state of the Middle schools. He should supervise the work of Sub-Inspectors under him. He should occasionally arrange interviews with the managing committees of the schools under his charge, also with parents of pupils in order to explain the necessity for regular and punctual attendance and to induce the people generally to take an interest in education. He is required to spend 180 days on tour in each year and should inspect each middle school once a year. He should in addition see as many primary schools as he conveniently can.Note. - A Deputy Inspector of Schools may count as a day spent on tour any day during which he visits schools within five miles of his headquarters, provided that neither school has received more than one visit from him earlier in that financial year.(G.O. no. 25-E.R., dated the 4th May, 1926 : D.P.I's tetter no. 4470, dated the 28th April 1931 and G.O. no. 360-E, dated the 21st January, 1935.)
