To surveil/to give surveillance

Is this sentence correct (or does it make sense):


a) "He was scheduled to surveil the examinations."


b) "He was scheduled to give surveillance during examinations."



Note: By 'to surveil' or 'to give surveillance', I mean that he will the teacher present during an examination (so that the people taking the examination don't cheat)."

THANK YOU.

Christine Christie Is this sentence correct (or does it make sense): US English has a word for that, "proctor", noun and verb. He was scheduled to proctor the exams. Surveillance is more quasi-military, comprehensive and covert.
