Inspectors, trained to monitor the quality of education, are not used in Norway.

Support for local and school based evaluation is a responsibility for The Directorate for Education and Training. The National Quality Assessment System contains information from all primary and secondary schools relating to fields: school facts, learning dividends, learning environment, resources, completion of upper secondary education and training. The information is available on the website of statistics on school/municipal/county/national level with the intention that it will contribute to quality development.

The County Governors have a supervising role towards the school owners (municipalities and county authorities) and present annual reports to the Ministry. These reports are based on statistical data, qualitative reporting and meetings with the education authorities in municipalities and counties.
