The European studies of Eurydice, the information network on education of the European Commission, deals with the education inspection as a topic only partially. That is why the Spanish Unit of Eurydice (Eurydice España-REDIE) has established the education inspection as an object of study and has tried to detach it as far as possible from the issues with which it has traditionally been related to, namely, evaluation, school accountability, teachers’ responsibilities or the autonomy of the educational institutions. The “Standing International Conference of national and regional Inspectorates of education” (SICI), the association of national and regional education inspectors in Europe, has greatly contributed to carry out this task through the documents published on their website. The outcome of it is a short report on the European context of educational monitoring taking account of the models of inspection that shape the education systems of the countries pertaining to the Eurydice network.
