Based on the data gathered, the following are the findings of the researcher: 1. The level of educational inspection activities in terms of professional inspection shows that all the teachers in ThanhHoa Province were always using standard grade equivalent with a mean score of 5.00. Teachers were also often pursuing their graduate studies with a mean score of 4.40. And in ThanhHoa, only few teachers were observed to retain or make their student in competent level with a mean score of 1.98. In general, the professional inspections in ThanhHoa were sometimes observed with grand mean of 3.32. While on the level of educational inspection activities in terms of inspection management, it shows that the management of the schools in ThanhHoahave always set specific date for the examination. And the administrative activities of the principal and the school managing board were always abided to the instruction of the education and training branch. But the transparency on school finances among students, staff and parents were sometimes observed. In general, the inspection management was oftenly observed with weighted mean of 3.89. And, on the level of educational inspection activities in terms of complaint management, it shows that unresolved complains are often directly referred to the highest education management with mean score of 4.26. But they are sometimes resolved immediate viii remedy in five working days with mean score of 2.66. In general, complaint management inspections were sometimes observed with grand mean of 3.30. 2. Considering the quality of the respondent schools in terms of educational qualifications of teachers, data shows that out of a total of two-hundred eighty-nine (289) teachers who taught in the said province, twenty-six percent (26%) had already attained their master’s degree and the rest seventy-four percent (74%) were still at their bachelor’s degree. This presents the distribution of the ten schools in ThanhHoa Province based on the highest educational attainment of the employed teachers. Whilst the educational quality of the respondents’ school as to the performance of the students, data shows that the students in high school of ThanhHoaperforms 70 to 75 percent in classroom level, 50 to 65 percent in inter-school level and only 25 to 35 percent got into regional level; the students’ performance in secondary school was 40 to 50 percent in classroom-level, 35 to 40 percent performance in inter-school level and 15 to 20 percent performance in provincial level. And, data shows that the performances of the students in primary schools was 45 to 55 percent in classroom level, 40 to 50 percent in inter-school level and 20 to 35 percent were in provincial level. 3. In view of the significant difference of the educational inspection activities in terms of professional inspection of the ten schools, results show that the observed professional inspection were significantly different from the ten schools. Having p-value of 0.031 that is less than to its threshold value of 0.05 leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis; thus, the ten schools in ThanhHoa Province have different level on their educational inspection activities in professional inspection. Considering the significant difference of the educational inspection activities in terms of inspection management of the ten schools, it shows that the observed inspection management was the same as observed in the ten schools in ThanhHoa. Having p-value of 0.246 that is greater than to its threshold value of 0.05 leads to the acceptance of the null ix hypothesis; thus, the ten schools in ThanhHoa Province have same level on their educational inspection activities in inspection Management.

Having p-value of 0.103 that is greater than to its threshold value of 0.05 leads to the acceptance of the null hypothesis; thus, the ten schools in ThanhHoa Province have same level on their educational inspection activities in complaint Management. On the significant relationship of the professional quality of teachers to the level of the educational inspection activities of the school in terms of professional inspection, it shows that the educational degree of the teachers in ThanhHoa Province doesn’t affect the level of professional inspection that the school was observed. Having p-value of 0.747 that is greater than to their threshold value of 0.05 leads to the acceptance of the null hypothesis; thus, the level of the educational inspection activities of the school in terms of professional inspection doesn’t affect by the educational degree of the teacher.
