Overview
- The Xunta welcomed the new cohort Thursday in the Cidade da Cultura where Conselleiro Román Rodríguez greeted 401 Infantil and Primaria teachers ahead of a separate reception for Secundaria and FP staff.
- The 1,012 appointees began reporting to their assigned centres on September 1 and are posted across 194 municipalities with 401 in Infantil/Primaria, 573 in Secundaria and 38 in specialised FP roles.
- The new group has an average age of 32.4 years and is 70% female, reflecting a clear demographic renewal that includes both novice teachers and hires with prior substitute experience.
- The Xunta cited the competitive process that drew 11,531 candidates this summer and noted long-term recruitment efforts since 2009, recent use of a 120% replacement rate to cut interim staffing, and about 584 vacancies left from this selection.
- Officials launched the Oficina de Apoyo al Profesorado to advise teachers on threats or aggressions and set formal possession for September 9, with next steps to watch including roll-out of lower pupil ratios and final passage of the digital-education law.
