Abstract
In a time when school responsibilities increase and become more complex, and the time available for reflection diminishes, the role of inspection of education emerges with greater relevance. Besides the traditional task of supervision, additional responsibilities such as support and promotion of improvement in educational institutions are added. Collaboration with school head teams, the educational community and the immediate school environment now constitutes an essential function more than ever. In this paper we will explore the importance of inspection of education as an indispensable tool for promoting excellence and equity in the education system. This will be done with a special emphasis on defining the professional competences of inspectors of education. Therefore, we position inspection of education as a profession and furthermore, analyze the opportunities and challenges that competency frameworks can bring to defining a progressive professional career. All of this with the aim of providing a series of recommendations that contribute to the improvement of the inspection of education profession.
