Presentation issue 30º
Dear public:
This issue presents the articles that were presented as a communication to the 15th ADIDE-Federation congress held in Bilbao on 17, 18, 19 October and that have agreed to be published in the journal. These articles have taken an editing and revision process to adjust to the requirements of the magazine. Three of the communicants to the congress either did not want or have not been able to pass this process and therefore they are not published.
First of all, we must talk about the XV Congress, an event attended by more than 400 inspectors of education throughout Spain, a clear success of assistance taking into account that it accounts for almost a quarter of all existing professionals. In addition, it was a time of professional meeting and reflection along with the attendance of excelent professionals of Education, national or international, whose added a quality difficult to achieve.
Adide Federation for many years has been promoting the regional or federal meetings and publication as rigorously as possible in the scope of this magazine or on the website of the organization.
Ten articles are published, of which six of them are the written result of the communications submitted to the XV Congress, once they have been edited and reviewed by the editorial team and reviewer.
- Sira Ayarza Elorriaga: "Evaluation of the addresses of public centers in Euskadi "

The four remaining articles are the following:

As you can see, they are all articles of interest to the teaching community. We thank the authors and reviewers for the intense collaboration and involvement in the process of continuous improvement that we have in this magazine.
The interview to the inspector of education of the Canary Islands D. Jacinto R. Quevedo Sarmiento has been carried out by the editorial team (José Cabrera). It presents an inspector of recognized prestige in the educational community of the Canary Islands.
We encourage the entire group of education professionals to innovate, research, act and write. We are at your service. Remember the editing rules. Failure to comply involves a huge effort of editing and oblige the author to review the article several times. We will assist you in the process if necessary.
We also remind you of the existence of the blog for articles and topics that can not be included in the journal and that are nevertheless of interest and relevance for publication.
We take this opportunity to wish you a happy new year.
Editorial Team.
PS:
On the day of January 3, once finished the whole process of making this number, our dear colleague and inspector José Illana Rubio passed away. Recently retired, at the XV congress of ADIDE-Federation we had an interview with him and he accepted our offer to be a reviewer of our magazine. His extensive professional trajectory, his human quality, his solid intellectual training and his abundant written production made him the ideal professional for the task of external reviewer. It should be noted that this new task had been undertaken with great enthusiasm and dedication.
We give our condolences to his family and to all the coworkers who, we know, have greatly regretted his loss. D.E.P
