Spanish term or phrase: alta inspeccion de educacion
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

SISTEMA EDUCATIVO Y ALTA INSPECCIÓN Imprimir E-Mail

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.

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

Suerte.

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


Explanation:
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

Asker: No, that absolutely works. What about the "area funcional". Operations Department / Office of Operations? Section?

Reference

Reference information:
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.

Inspectorate

an official organization that sends inspectors to visit places and organizations in order to make certain they are in good condition and that the rules are being obeyed:
