Spanish term

Colegio Magisterial

Spanish to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy Central America
From a report on ensuring rights for the disabled in Central America. The project has 5 committees, theese are the obbjectives of the Education Committee:

Cambio en Políticas Públicas de Educación por medio de la incidencia con los Colegios Magisteriales para que el tema discapacidad sea incluido en la Ley Nacional de Educación y Política Nacional Educativa

Could this be Adult Education Centres or something similar?

Discussion

William Pairman (asker) Oct 5, 2010:
Please note that I selected "Teachers Association" as the answer :o)
William Pairman (asker) Oct 3, 2010:
My wife is an educationalist, she tells me that this is probably something specific to Honduras and could be anything - educational, training, legal etc. The word "incidencia" is used throughout the text, often as "acciones de incidencia" which I take to mean lobbying. So the Committee is working for changes to education policy by lobbying ???

That would suggest Maria and I might not be in the right area here

I'd suggest "Teachers Association", according to this reference:

http://www.historiadehonduras.hn/Historia/Independiente/Movi...

and "incidencia"

Diccionario Espasa concise inglés-español © 2000 Espasa Calpe:
incidencia sustantivo femenino
1 (repercusión) impact, effect, incidence: la medida tuvo escasa incidencia, the measure had little effect

Thank you, probably I should have changed the first suggestion, but luckily the second one helped you, Good luck!
Peer comment(s):

disagree Carrie Comer : "colegio" is not college in central america. It is a private primary and secondary school. It can also be the professional association of teachers.

After I knew the country of the source document, I offered the translation "Teachers Association" hours before you send your "disagree"
