Overview

• The Department of Education halted the entire assignment process after detecting unjustified incidents, including a pool of positions wrongly awarded to interim teachers over civil servants.
• Consellera Esther Niubó opened an informative file and indicated evidence of a deliberate, voluntary act by a single individual, with potential for strong sanctions once identified.
• Unions and the Catalan Ombudsman have been invited to oversee the repetition of the assignment draw, which is scheduled to begin early next week under strengthened oversight.
• Officials estimate that approximately 800 posts were omitted and about 3,000 teachers will face changes to their destinations when the process is reapplied.
• Parliamentary groups across the spectrum have pressed for accountability, prompting Niubó to request an urgent appearance before the Parliament’s Education Commission.
