This present paper has got a clear goal: to contextualize education for development in the present moment, planning its evolution and the keys that characterize education collected from the most representative and up-to-date pieces of work. The experience that we present is integrated in a project developed in Paraguay that is expected to describe the professional characteristics of the school supervisors of the Republic of Paraguay and according to them, determine which are their training needs in order to establish the rules for the elaboration of a training programme that includes the guidelines that managers should know in order to exercise their role. The implementation of the abovementioned programme and the global evaluation of the project, complete the study with the second and third stages of the work. An empirical descriptive study of a transverse nature has been used. One of the conclusions worth mentioning is that two fifths of the supervisors have not received update course over the last three years and those who have taken it belong to very diverse areas.
