Overview
- Results published this week show steep first-phase failure rates across several regions with unions reporting examples such as 63% in Murcia, 61% in Asturias and up to 83% in Castilla y León.
- Correction tribunals point to widespread spelling, punctuation, syntax and reading-comprehension errors and to explicit rules in this year’s convocatorias that deduct points for orthographic mistakes, in some places reducing scores by up to two or three points.
- Asturias’s education department reported that more than 30% of registered candidates either did not attend or abandoned the exam within 15 minutes, a factor that produced many automatic zeros and raised the fail totals.
- Unions (CCOO, CSIF and others) have demanded earlier access to test reviews and greater transparency while regional education officials defend tribunal autonomy, say they will analyse the causes with stakeholders and maintain procedures to fill vacancies.
- Galicia published official figures showing only 16% of exam takers advanced to the final phase, where successful candidates will defend program plans and didactic units through July 19 as regions weigh how standards and staffing needs should be balanced.
