Supervision in education generally refers to the process of
providing support, guidance, and evaluation to educators in order to
enhance instructional practices, improve student learning outcomes, and
promote professional growth. It specifically involves a collaborative
relationship between supervisors (such as school administrators or
instructional leaders) and teachers, aiming to ensure effective teaching
and learning within educational settings. The primary objectives of
supervision in education include professional development, quality
assurance, support and guidance, reflective practice, and collaboration
and professional learning communities. Thus, this section unveils the
