Inspections improve the quality of education; hence, inspectors need to concentrate on assessment and other functions. The study aims to emphasize the value given to the career guidance role and increase its frequency. In that regard, the descriptive research technique reveals their opinions on the subject. The research study group consists of 20 school administrators working in primary education institutions in the 2019-2020 academic year. The data were collected using a semi-structured interview form with open-ended questions. The findings obtained from the content analysis application showed that generally, the inspectors' approach to teachers is tolerant, respectful, and moderate; teachers also revealed their expectations that schools should be inspected more frequently by their inspectors. In addition, it is seen that school administrators, whose expectations are limited in terms of vocational guidance, are expected to be more focused on guiding than supervising, share the innovations in education and make constructive criticism.   Keywords: Education Supervision, Inspector, School Administrators, Vocational guidance.

School administrators’ “frequent turnover” has been discussed intensively in the Turkish Educational System recently. Currently, principals are selected for 4 years after an interview conducted by a committee of directors of national education. After that period, they either go back to their classes or are chosen for another 4 years for the last time. This frequent turnover can be disruptive for schools. This study was conducted to determine school principals’ views on administration work and this frequent turnover. The study employed a qualitative research design. The participants were 20 principals chosen with maximum sampling method. The data were analyzed with content analysis method. Results revealed that most principals consider administration work as a professional and career profession which requires expertise, leadership qualities and education in educational administration. They also evaluate the selection system as problematic and limiting their work period with 4 years prevents them from realizing long-term projects. Finally, they think that the system works with political considerations clearly.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o funcionamento do mercado institucional da compra de alimentos da agricultura familiar – PAA e PNAE – no território do Vale do Rio Pardo/RS. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada entre os meses de abril e novembro de 2016, tendo como técnica de coleta de dados a entrevista semiestruturada, acompanhada de um formulário para coleta de informações referentes à estruturação dos programas nos municípios. As entrevistas foram realizadas por meio de visitas às Prefeituras Municipais, Secretarias de Agricultura e Educação e escritórios da EMATER dos municípios do Território. A análise dos dados obtidos nas entrevistas baseou-se no método da análise de conteúdo. Concluiu-se que as necessidades das prefeituras dos municípios, para dar conta de condições adequadas de fornecimento da merenda escolar, são superiores aos recursos disponibilizados pelo Governo Federal. As verbas repassadas para tanto precisam ser complementadas pelos municípios, sob pena de não atenderem a padrões mínimos de quantidade e qualidade de alimentos para as escolas.AbstractThe objective of this paper is to analyze the functioning of the institutional market for the purchase of food from family farmers – PAA and PNAE – in the territory of the Rio Pardo Valley/RS.
