The final lists of admitted and excluded candidates in the selection process for the M1-Early Childhood Education professional group of the General State Administration are now official as of 30 September 2026. The Resolution of 27 September 2026, from the Under-Secretariat, closes the ten business day correction period that opened following the publication of the provisional lists in September, and incorporates the resulting modifications.
If you submitted an application and do not know whether you are admitted or excluded, now is the time to act. Excluded candidates have no administrative remedy: the only avenue is direct judicial action.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution approves the final lists of admitted and excluded persons in the selection process called on 8 July 2026 to fill permanent labour positions in the M1-Early Childhood Education professional group, subject to the IV Single Collective Agreement for labour personnel of the AGE. The process includes two tracks:
- General open access system: open to any candidate who meets the general requirements of the call.
- Internal promotion: reserved for permanent labour personnel already bound by the IV Single Collective Agreement.
Following the ten business day correction period, modifications to the provisional lists have been incorporated. Exclusion reasons are coded. Below are all those included in the resolution:
| Code | Exclusion reason | Applicable track |
|---|---|---|
| 02 | Lack of certification of required academic qualification | Open access |
| 06 | Absence or deficiency of employment seeker certificate | Open access |
| 09 | Failure to prove status as permanent labour personnel subject to the IV Single Collective Agreement | Internal promotion |
In the internal promotion track, reason 09 is the only exclusion reason recorded: all excluded candidates in this track are excluded for failing to prove their status as permanent labour personnel subject to the IV Collective Agreement.
Economic and operational impact
For excluded candidates, the impact is immediate and direct: losing a position in this selection process means having to wait for a new call, with the opportunity cost that entails in terms of time, participation fees and preparation invested.
From an operational perspective, the critical points are:
- Judicial challenge: excluded candidates can only appeal by filing a lawsuit before the Labour Courts of Madrid. There is no prior administrative remedy in this procedure.
- List consultation: the lists of admitted candidates are available at administracion.gob.es and on the Ministry of Finance website. It is essential to verify your status before assuming admission.
- Correction period closed: the ten business day period has already concluded. It is not possible to correct documentation outside that period.
Who does it affect?
- Candidates who submitted applications to the M1-Early Childhood Education selection process of the AGE called on 8 July 2026, both through open access and internal promotion.
- Permanent labour personnel of the AGE subject to the IV Single Collective Agreement who applied for the internal promotion track.
- Labour advisors and human resources managers who assist candidates in selection processes of the General State Administration.
- HR departments of public bodies that manage the incorporation of new personnel in the M1-Early Childhood Education group.
Practical example
A candidate who submitted her application through the open access track attached her ID and registration form, but did not include the updated employment seeker certificate. During the ten business day correction period, she did not correct the deficiency. In the final list she appears excluded for reason 06 (absence or deficiency of employment seeker certificate).
Her only option now is to file a lawsuit before the Labour Courts of Madrid if she believes the exclusion is not lawful. She cannot file an appeal or prior administrative claim.
In the internal promotion track, a temporary labour worker at the AGE who believed he met the requirements discovers he is excluded for reason 09: he does not have the status of permanent labour personnel subject to the IV Single Collective Agreement, which is an essential requirement to access this track.
What should candidates do now?
- Check your status in the final lists by accessing administracion.gob.es or the Ministry of Finance website. Do not assume you are admitted if you have not explicitly verified it.
- If you are excluded, identify the reason listed next to your name (reason 02, 06 or 09) to understand the specific reason for exclusion.
- If you believe the exclusion is incorrect, contact a labour lawyer immediately: the only avenue is to file a lawsuit before the Labour Courts of Madrid. Procedural deadlines are strict.
- If you are admitted, stay alert to official communications from the selection process through administracion.gob.es and the Ministry of Finance website to learn about the dates and conditions of the following phases.
- If you participated through internal promotion and were excluded for reason 09, verify with your HR department whether you actually have the status of permanent labour personnel subject to the IV Single Collective Agreement before initiating any challenge.

Reason 02 indicates lack of certification of required academic qualification. It is one of the most frequent exclusion reasons in the open access track of this selection process.

In the internal promotion track, all excluded candidates are excluded for reason 09: failure to prove the status of permanent labour personnel subject to the IV Single Collective Agreement for labour personnel of the AGE. This is the only exclusion reason recorded in this track.
What is exclusion reason 06 in the M1-Early Childhood Education exams?
Reason 06 corresponds to absence or deficiency of employment seeker certificate. It is, along with reason 02 (lack of academic qualification), one of the most frequent exclusion reasons in the open access track. The ten business day correction period has already concluded, so the only available avenue is judicial challenge.
