Overview

  • Nearly 140,000 candidates are contending for 20,461 teaching posts across Spain’s public schools and institutes.
  • Available positions range from 7,808 posts in Andalusia and 1,664 in Galicia to 279 in Extremadura and varied offerings in other regions.
  • The selection comprises two eliminatory exams, combining subject-matter tests with a pedagogical phase featuring didactic programming and oral defense.
  • Digitalized procedures have saved over two million paper documents and permit candidates to submit materials and retrieve exam copies online, with provisions for lactating mothers and an early appeals window.
  • High summer temperatures have delayed some exam openings and intensified scrutiny from unions over transparency in topic draws and evaluation criteria.
