Education
Proctor has two completely different meanings in education: it either refers either to a high official in certain universities, or to any teacher or other staff member at a university, secondary school or even elementary school when they are supervising the administration of a test or examination. In British and Australian English, persons acting in this capacity are referred to as invigilators.
