Abstract

This article describes, in its first part, the evolution of the functions of the Education Inspectorate, from its creation in 1849 to 2024, that is, throughout its 175 years of existence.

The advancement of professional competencies within the professional development of inspectors is also suggested, through the proposal of Jesús Manso at the XXIII National Meeting of Education Inspectors (Granada, October, 2023).

Finally, some points of reflection are raised for the advancement and improvement of the professional practice of education inspectors.
