@Charles I read "Nursery" school, instead of nursing, oops my bad, this is why I thought your answer fit perfectly. I guess I need glasses ;-)
Charles Davis Feb 20, 2017:
@Lorena and Emily Thanks, Lorena, but now we know it's a nursing school I think that answer is wrong, so I'm going to post another :)
lorenab23 Feb 20, 2017:
Hi Emily Thank you, I already gave my agree to Charles. His answer fits perfectly with your additional context.
Emily Tell (asker) Feb 20, 2017:
Hi-
The country is Mexico and her exact title is "La Directora de la Escuela." There is also a "Sub directora de la Escuela" that also has the same abbrev. before her name.
It is a Nursing School.
lorenab23 Feb 20, 2017:
Hi Emily Any additional info you can provide?
Country of origin?
Her exact title in Spanish? (Is it just directora?)
If you don't have any issues with confidentiality maybe even the name of the University...

Enfermera Especialista, Administración y Educación > Specialist Nurse, Administration and Education

My previous answer, Especialidad en Enseñanza y Aprendizajes Escolares, looked good for the head of an ordinary school, but now we know it's a nursing school I think it's much more likely to be this. The head and deputy head of a nursing school are more likely to have nursing qualifications that graduate educational qualifications (though they might have the latter as well), and in particular if both the directora and the subdirectora have these initials, it would be quite a coincidence for them both to have one particular graduate teaching diploma that appears to exist at only one university. A further point is that there is a space between "E.E." and "A.E.", which I assumed was a mistake, but, if not, suggests that these are two pairs of initials rather than one set of four.

Taking all this into account, I think EE must stand for "Enfermera Especialista". AE is more tricky. It usually stands for "Auxiliar de Enfermería". However, I think it's more likely that it stands for "Administración y Educación", given that the head and deputy head of a nursing school clearly specialise in these areas. It is possible that both of them initially qualified as auxiliares and then went to on become especialistas (which means a licenciatura and then further study; see below). But in that case I don't think it's very likely they would mention the "A.E." part. However they certainly would if, as I believe, it stands for Administración y Educación.

Some references:

Given that there is inevitably an element of doubt in this, I think it would be a good idea to try to confirm the meaning of these initials with the client, if possible.

I would need more context. This is just a possible explanation, so my confidence is set to "low."
