alta inspeccion de educacion

Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy
I've been looking for this for at least 15 minutes. The only thing I have found so far are really bad translations on the internet. So far all I have is the one I made up, which at least sounds like something English: Department for Senior Inspection of Education

Spanish Spain > English UK

S Ben Price (asker) Apr 13, 2012:
Yeah, it doesn't seem to add up. Anyway, I posted the other half of this question in another post. I think inspectorate will work fine.
liz askew Apr 13, 2012:
Well, Ben, I don't agree with it in any case, but thought you might like to take a look.
S Ben Price (asker) Apr 13, 2012:
No, I didn't. But does it even have the same meaning? inspección and records don't seem to be talking about the same thing.

SISTEMA EDUCATIVO Y ALTA INSPECCIÓN Imprimir E-Mail
escrito por Francisco Galván Palomo

RESUMEN

La Alta Inspección, prevista en Ley Orgánica de Educación, puede ser considerada como un procedimiento lícito de control y, en consecuencia, se hace necesario su acceso a centros y servicios, porque es evidente que los actos de comprobación precisos para su específica misión no pueden ser actuaciones de la función ejecutiva autonómica. El artículo contiene la naturaleza, funciones y una breve historia de la Alta Inspección.

En otro artículo, que también publicó esta revista[i], describía lo que es la Alta Inspección de Educación, las funciones que el legislador le ha asignado y la estructura que tiene en nuestro estado de las Autonomías. Hoy pretendo complementar aquel trabajo y decir algo sobre la pequeña historia de esta institución, lo que hace cotidianamente y lo que, a mi juicio, quizás pudiera hacer.

Education Oversight Committee // Education Review Board

Or:

Education Monitoring Bureau

These are some ideas that, I think, represent improvements on your own suggestion. I'm not sure if "Inspectorate" works either.

Suerte.
Peer comment(s):

neutral liz askew : wouldn't it be "overseeing committee"...and oversight is something else surely?

No. It would be "oversight committee" (which also appears to be used in the UK; see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_budget )

Higher Inspection of Education Services

I just added Services to eliminate the ambiguity so that it doesnt read "Higher Inspection-of-Education", but "Higher-Inspection of Education", which I assume is the intended meaning...

I am now thinking that my version still looks ambiguous... though the position of "of" may visually encourage two groupings on either side... Ah well.

p.s. I think both your ideas for "area funcional" would work:) preferably the first, Dept/Unit/Section
Note from asker:
No, that absolutely works. What about the "area funcional". Operations Department / Office of Operations? Section?

agree neilmac : Sometimes I think they just stick "alta"and "superior" in to make things sound more imposing...

Reference:

La Alta Inspección Educativa está pensada para supervisar que la legislación autonómica no choque con la estatal, por eso cuenta con poco personal.

................................

Las competencias de la Alta Inspección, que depende del Ministerio de Educación, consisten principalmente en comprobar que los programas educativos y la legislación de cada comunidad autónoma no choque con las leyes y los currículos estatales. Una "supervisión burocrática" que el PP, con su proposición no de ley (PNL), quiere superar para que este cuerpo pueda también realizar requerimientos e inspecciones en los centros educativos, algo que hasta ahora ha correspondido a la Inspección Educativa, que depende de las administraciones autonómicas.
