What does 'under purview' mean?

Dear,

I received a reply below when enquiring a school.



'This school is under the purview of CPE (Council for Private Education).'

What does 'under purview' mean?

Thank you

Hi Iris, In this case it means that it is under the scope or control of the CPE (Council for Private Education). It may mean that the CPE is their governing body, and directly issues guidelines and standards that they must meet, or it may mean that they are covered by the general rules and standards that are inforced by the CPE. In any case, it implies a form of relationship between the school and CPE, with the CPE being the higher ranking body.
