Presentation Issue 34º

Dear Readers:

We present you the number 34 of December 2020 of the magazine "Advances in Educational Supervision", Advances, without more, for those who know us. In this issue we collect seven interesting articles:

- Pedro Navareño: "External advice to the school for sustainable innovation and continuous improvement, from professional learning communities"

- Miguel Ángel Negrín Medina y Juan José Marrero Galván: "The Inspection of Education and the training of teachers: phases of the teaching career, voluntary collaboration of retired inspectors and promotion of scientific vocations. Participatory proposal in the teaching of experimental sciences".

- Norma Nélida Reséndiz Melgar: "Models of pedagogical advice and their impact on advice proposals for basic education in Mexico"

- Javier Caputto Camarena y Susana Tamayo Lorenzo: "Precautions in the disciplinary procedure"

- Marcos Rodríguez Bravo: "The neoinspection: A look towards the future"

- Francisco Javier Galicia Mangas: "Consideration of education as a public service in Spanish legislation"

- Leda Muñoz García: "Could the pandemic help us so that education does not arrive late in the future?"

On the other hand, we have conducted two interviews. The first to Leandro Folgar, president of the Ceibal Plan of Uruguay and the second to the inspector of education in the province of Huesca María José Madonar Pardinilla.

You can read the reviews of two books:

- Francisco Cuadrado Muñoz: Review of the book "Physical education and coexistence: opportunities and challenges in preventing bullying" by Rosario Ortega-Ruiz and Francisco Córdoba-Alcaide (coord.)

- María del Pilar Cancer Pomar: Review of the book "Education, history and society. The historiographical legacy of Antonio Viñao" by Pedro L. Moreno Martínez (Editor)

This year 2020 will be remembered as the one in which Education has faced challenges, which have put progress in terms of equity and inclusion at risk. The response of the educational community has been to strengthen and adapt with solidarity realism and opt for stability, innovation and creativity. However, at the end of the pandemic, like someone who faced a hurricane, we will have to assess damages and see how to repair and compensate for the losses that, in terms of education, have occurred. The next issue may be a very interesting opportunity to analyze the last year and a half and propose the best solutions and agree on what must be considered consolidated in the new educational system that has emerged with the pandemic. It is not about doing a reset, but it does seem safe to say that education, like many other services, will have changed.
