Abstract
In celebration of the 175th anniversary of the creation of the Education Inspectors' Corps, the opportunity arises to offer some guidelines from which to develop, from the basic regulations, a code of ethics for its members. The author presents this open proposal, which he proposes should be agreed and assumed personally and by each management unit as a tool to strengthen the criteria of governance and the commitment to the quality of the education system, the ultimate objective of the work of education inspectors, which is ultimately worked to strengthen the future of society.
Based on personal research and consultation of the relevant normative, academic, historical and comparative sources, a proposal of eight lines is presented on which to build both a code of ethics and its corresponding code of conduct.
Although the intention is to provide temporary stability to the proposal, as a fundamental element of the so-called DNA of the Education Inspectorate, we are aware that the purpose of the Inspectorate itself is to serve society, in a constant process of progress and readaptation, so that the proposal, which we consider coherent at this time, must be subject to evaluation and could be subject to extension or adjustment. In this sense, we refer to the statement by González Vila (2000, p. 85), «the Inspectorate will be substantially the same or it will not be».
