Abstract

Educational action abroad requires the work of inspectors to supervise the centers and programs that depend on it. It arose with the intention of promoting the Spanish language and culture and is a consequence of the migratory movements that led many Spaniards to leave their homeland to seek new horizons. The strength of Spanish as a language and the need to respond to those who see our language as a fundamental instrument for communication are reasons to maintain this educational action beyond our borders.

For education professionals (professors, teachers, technical advisors) it is an opportunity to develop their professional career in a different field and constitutes a challenge in a globalized world. Inspectors, at the top of the profession of teaching officials, have an important role in the supervision, advice, control and evaluation of educational centers and programs whose activity is carried out abroad and acquire, in its most exact sense, the character of a factor for improving the quality of the educational system that legislation grants them.
