New career civil servant teachers in Madrid: 2026 appointments after 2025 civil service exams

Key data

Teachers who passed the civil service exams of the Community of Madrid called on February 20, 2025 take the definitive step: the Order EFD/1153/2026, of October 19, published in the Official State Gazette on November 2, 2026, appoints them career civil servants with retroactive effect to September 1, 2026. These professionals had already been appointed civil servants in practice in August 2025, thus completing the selection process initiated over a year ago.

The order is proposed by the Ministry of Education, Science and Universities of the Community of Madrid and formalizes the final phase of the process: the acquisition of the definitive and irremovable status of career civil servant.

What does this regulation establish?

Order EFD/1153/2026 formalizes the appointment as career civil servants of teachers selected in the selection procedures called by Resolution of February 20, 2025. The process has followed the following phases:

1. Call: Resolution of February 20, 2025 by the Ministry of Education, Science and Universities of Madrid.
2. Appointment as civil servants in practice: August 2025, for candidates who passed the selection process.
3. Appointment as career civil servants: Order EFD/1153/2026, with effect from September 1, 2026.

The six teaching bodies affected by this order are:

The order's annex contains the complete list of appointees, with the following data per person: partial ID number, personal registration number, specialty, access route and score obtained in the selection process.

Economic and operational impact

For the affected teachers, the transition from civil servant in practice to career civil servant has concrete economic and professional consequences:

• Full job stability: Career civil servant status is definitive and irremovable, unlike the practice period.
• Retroactive effect to September 1, 2026: Economic and administrative rights are computed from that date, even though the order is published in November.
• Personal registration number: Each appointee receives a personal registration number that permanently identifies them in the roster of the corresponding body. This number determines the position in future destination calls, transfer competitions and internal promotion.
• Score in the file: The score obtained in the selection process is recorded and can influence the ranking for transfer competitions.

For the Madrid Education Ministry, the incorporation of these new career civil servants means the consolidation of positions that until now could be filled by temporary or civil servants in practice, with the consequent impact on staffing planning for the 2026-2027 academic year.

Who does it affect?

• Teachers approved in the civil service exams called by the Community of Madrid on February 20, 2025, in any of the six bodies mentioned.
• Civil servants in practice appointed in August 2025 who have successfully completed the practice period.
• Public educational centers in Madrid that incorporate these teachers as career civil servants in their staffing.
• Ministry of Education, Science and Universities of Madrid, which must update personnel records and rosters.
• Candidates who consider errors in their appointment (score, specialty, access route), who have specific deadlines to appeal.

Practical example

A candidate who passed the civil service exams for the body of Secondary Education Teachers in the specialty of Mathematics in the February 2025 call:

• Was appointed civil servant in practice in August 2025 and assigned to a Madrid secondary school for the 2025-2026 academic year.
• After completing the practice period, Order EFD/1153/2026 appoints them career civil servant with effect from September 1, 2026.
• Their name, partial ID number, personal registration number, specialty (Mathematics), access route and score obtained are recorded in the order's annex, published in the Official State Gazette.
• If they detect an error in their score or specialty reflected in the annex, they have 1 month from November 2, 2026 to file an appeal for reconsideration, or 2 months to go directly to the National Court via administrative litigation.

What should those affected do now?

1. Check the annex of Order EFD/1153/2026 in the Official State Gazette to verify that your data (partial ID number, personal registration number, specialty, access route and score) are correct.
2. Check the effective date: the appointment as career civil servant has effect from September 1, 2026, which may have implications for seniority increments, length of service and retirement rights.
3. Save the personal registration number assigned, as it will be the permanent identifier in the body's roster and will be needed in transfer competitions and other procedures.
4. If there are errors or discrepancies in the annex data: file an appeal for reconsideration within 1 month from publication (November 2, 2026) with the same body that issued the order, or administrative litigation within 2 months before the National Court.
5. Educational centers and HR managers of the Ministry: update personnel records to reflect the change in administrative status from civil servant in practice to career civil servant, with effect from September 1, 2026.
