TEXT

The Organic Law 1/1990 of 3 October of General Management of the Educational System identifies the qualification and training of teachers, teaching resources and innovation and educational research among the factors that promote the quality and improvement of teaching. In its Article 56, it recognises lifelong learning as a right and an obligation for all teachers, and therefore proclaims the responsibility of the educational administration in the implementation of training programmes, as well as in the creation of centres for the permanent training of teachers.

The Ministry of Education and Science, in the years preceding the implementation of the educational reform, had already carried out the creation of the Teachers ' Centres as preferred institutions for the training of the teachers in their field of management, as well as Resource Centres supporting the teaching work in rural areas characterised by the dispersion of school units. Once the Grouped Rural Schools were created as the most suitable formula for attending schooling in rural areas, a process of unification of both networks began, to allow closer attention to educational centers.

To this end, the Order of 5 May 1994 established new geographical areas defined by the corresponding school maps, which were entrusted to the respective Centres of Teachers or Resource Centres for performance. of the same functions, which are related to the quality factors listed in the LOGSE: permanent training, counselling for curricular development, innovation and educational research or the promotion of resources education.

The process of unification of both networks culminated in the promulgation of Royal Decree 1693/1995 of 20 October, which regulates the creation and operation of the Centres of Teachers and Resources, and which, in its A single additional provision integrates the existing Teachers ' Centres and Resource Centres into a single network. The Royal Decree characterizes these centers as preferred institutions for the permanent formation of teachers who must promote the professional meeting of teachers in a framework of participation and collaboration in the exercise of what establishes as its competences: Plan and develop the permanent training of teachers, support the development of the curriculum in educational institutions, promote educational research and innovation and the dissemination and exchange of pedagogical and didactic experiences, informing and advising teachers and teachers on the use of teaching materials and curricular materials and participate in activities of social and cultural dynamisation in collaboration with the educational institutions.

In sum, the Royal Decree 1693/1995, of October 20, comes to consolidate, after the promulgation of the Law that orders the new educational system, some centers that have more than ten years of existence, and that they have demonstrated their ability to adapt and respond at times as complex for teachers as those of the implementation of new teaching. These centres are now expected to constitute the complementary point of reference to the responsibility, which corresponds to centres and teachers, to complete and develop the curriculum of the levels, stages, cycles, degrees and modalities of teaching in the framework of their teaching programming; in short, they will be able to develop relevant functions for the promotion of the educational quality and the professionalization of the set of teachers that exercises at the levels prior to the university.

As provided for in the aforementioned Royal Decree, it is appropriate to develop some aspects of it related to the process of creation, the governing bodies and their constitution and the functioning of the Centres of Teachers and Resources. For all this, in use of the authorization granted by the final disposition of Royal Decree 1693/1995 of 20 October, and after the approval of the Minister for Public Administrations, I have:
