Career Civil Servants in Secondary, VET and Languages in Castilla y León: what Order EFD/1131/2026 implies

Key data

Applicants who passed the selective procedures for entry, access and acquisition of new specialties called by Order EDU/1519/2024 in Castilla y León have just had their appointment as career civil servants formalized. Order EFD/1131/2026, published on October 29, 2026, closes the cycle that began with the 2024 competitive examinations and passed through the probation period regulated by Order EDU/988/2025.

The effects are not merely symbolic: the appointment has retroactive administrative and economic effects from September 1, 2026, which means that the salary scales and rights inherent to career civil servant status are computed from that date, even though the order was published in October.

What does this regulation establish?

Order EFD/1131/2026 formalizes the appointment as career civil servants of the applicants selected in the following procedures and teaching bodies:

• Body of Secondary Education Teachers — entry, access and acquisition of new specialties
• Body of Specialist Teachers in Singular Sectors of Vocational Training
• Body of Teachers of Official Language Schools

The prior process developed in two clearly differentiated phases:

The annex to the order contains, for each person appointed, the following identifying data: NRP (Personnel Registration Number), partial ID number, teaching specialty and score obtained in the selective process. This annex is the official reference for verifying inclusion in the appointment.

Two remedies are available against this order:

• Motion for reconsideration: one-month deadline from publication
• Administrative contentious appeal before the National Court: two-month deadline from publication

Economic and operational impact

Consolidation as a career civil servant is not a mere administrative formality: it has direct and permanent economic and labor consequences.

• Retroactivity to September 1, 2026: economic effects are computed from that date, which may generate salary differences to be received if the September or October payroll did not yet reflect career civil servant status.
• Full labor stability: career civil servant status implies immovability, access to seniority bonuses, professional career rights and consolidation of provisional or permanent assignment.
• Seniority computation: time as a civil servant in probation (from Order EDU/988/2025) is integrated into the personal file, with effects on future seniority bonuses and transfer competitions.
• Access to transfer competitions: career civil servant status enables participation in teaching mobility processes that were previously unavailable to civil servants in probation.

Who does it affect?

• Teachers who passed the competitive examinations called by the Order EDU/1519/2024 in Castilla y León (entry, access and acquisition of new specialties procedures)
• Professors of the three affected bodies: Secondary Education, Specialists in Singular Sectors of VET and Official Language Schools
• Applicants who were appointed civil servants in probation by Order EDU/988/2025 and declared fit in July 2026
• Personnel managers of public educational centers in Castilla y León who must update records and payroll
• Labor advisors and teaching unions that accompany those affected in verifying their rights

Practical example

A teacher who passed the competitive examinations for the Mathematics specialty in the Body of Secondary Education Teachers in Castilla y León, was appointed a civil servant in probation by Order EDU/988/2025 and declared fit in July 2026, is now appointed a career civil servant with effects from September 1, 2026.

If their September payroll was still processed with the category of "civil servant in probation" or as a temporary employee, they should review with their personnel department whether there is a pending salary difference to be paid. Furthermore, from this appointment onwards, they will be able to participate in the next transfer competition in Castilla y León as a career civil servant, with all the mobility rights that this entails.

To verify their inclusion in the appointment, they must locate their NRP and partial ID in the annex of Order EFD/1131/2026, where their specialty and the score obtained in the selective process are also listed.

What should those affected do now?

1. Verify inclusion in the annex: locate the NRP, partial ID, specialty and score in the annex of Order EFD/1131/2026 to confirm that the appointment is correct.
2. Review the September and October 2026 payroll: check whether the retroactive economic effects from September 1 are already reflected or if there is a pending difference to be regularized.
3. Update the personal file: request from the Ministry of Education of Castilla y León the update of the NRP and the annotation of the appointment in the Central Personnel Register.
4. File an appeal if there are discrepancies: if any error is detected in the annex data (specialty, score, NRP), file a motion for reconsideration within one month from publication (October 29, 2026), or an administrative contentious appeal before the National Court within two months.
5. Prepare for participation in transfer competitions: with career civil servant status consolidated, review the deadlines of the next transfer competition in Castilla y León to exercise mobility rights.
