This paper is based on review of literature on the contribution of instructional supervision toward teaching and learning process. The paper clarified the terms, supervision and who is a supervisor and instructional supervision. The paper examines the concept of instructional supervision, the role of head master as a supervisor, qualities of a school supervisor, purpose of instructional supervision, problems of instructional supervision in the primary schools and finally, suggested solutions to the problems include: appointing experience and qualified supervisors, capacity building among major stakeholders and adequate funding.
