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.
