counsellor's office

noun kohn-seh-heh-REE-ah Rare

Also means

regional ministry

Usage Note

Consejería in Spain refers specifically to a department within an autonomous community government, headed by a consejero — roughly equivalent to a regional ministry. This regional-government sense is not found in Latin America, where consejería more broadly means 'counselling service' or 'advisory office'. Learners should not confuse it with consultoría ('consultancy'), which is a private sector term.

Examples

"La consejería de educación anunció nuevas medidas."

Natural Translation

The regional education department announced new measures.
