The Inspectorate of the Slovak Republic in its present tasks and structure is rather young: from after the breakdown of Communist government in the early nineties.  Its main task is the inspection of all schools in Slovakia with a format of full inspections, like in most European countries.  These inspections are done every five years.  In some samples of schools where such a full inspection is done, there is a special interest in a particular theme, for example the teaching of ICT or reading literacy provision. Also other types of thematic inspections are done.

All details are given in the following link and the sources given there.
