Madrid teacher transfer competition 2026/2027: deadlines and affected bodies

Key data

If you are a civil servant teacher in the Community of Madrid, you have until November 26, 2026 to request a transfer to another destination within the state-level competition. The call, published in the BOCM on November 4, 2026, is governed by Order EFD/1041/2026, of September 30, and affects nine civil servant teaching bodies in public education.

The deadline is short: barely 22 calendar days from opening. Any interested teacher must act immediately to review specific requirements for their body and prepare documentation.

What does this regulation establish?

The General Directorate of Human Resources of the Ministry of Education, Science and Universities of Madrid publishes the call for state-level transfer competitions for the 2026/2027 academic year. This procedure allows civil servant teachers to request a change of destination to any autonomous community participating in the state-level competition.

The procedure is entirely governed by Order EFD/1041/2026, of September 30. Interested teachers must comply with the specific requirements of each body according to the resolutions published for each one.

The nine teaching bodies included in the call are:

Economic and operational impact

For teachers, a transfer can mean a significant change in their working conditions: distance to the workplace, compensation supplements linked to the destination, seniority in the position and family stability. Although the call does not imply direct cost for the requesting teacher, it does have relevant operational implications:

• Documentation management: Each body has specific requirements that must be verified in the resolutions published for each one. Submitting incomplete documentation may result in exclusion from the competition.
• Academic year planning: A granted transfer implies incorporation to the new destination for the 2026/2027 academic year, with all that entails in terms of personal and professional organization.
• Impact on educational centers: Centers that lose teachers due to transfer will need to manage replacements or new appointments, with the resulting impact on staffing planning for the next academic year.
• State-level scope: As a state-level competition, the destination can be in any participating autonomous community, not just Madrid.

Who does it affect?

• Active civil servant teachers belonging to any of the 9 called bodies, with destination in the Community of Madrid.
• Education Inspectors who wish to change province or autonomous community.
• Teachers of Early Childhood and Primary Education with destination in Madrid.
• Secondary School Teachers and Senior Lecturers seeking transfer to another center or community.
• Vocational Training Technicians and Specialists in singular sectors.
• Official Language School Teachers with destination in Madrid.
• Music, Performing Arts, Plastic Arts and Design Teachers in artistic education.
• Management and HR teams of public educational centers in Madrid, who must anticipate possible vacancies.
• Advisors and personnel managers of the Ministry of Education and of subsidized centers that manage civil servant teachers.

Practical example

A Secondary School Teacher with permanent destination in a Madrid secondary school who wishes to transfer to Castilla y León for family reasons has an open window to request it between November 5 and 26, 2026.

To do so, they must:

1. Consult the specific resolution for the Secondary School Teachers Body published together with the call in the BOCM of November 4, 2026.
2. Verify that they meet the seniority and administrative status requirements required by Order EFD/1041/2026.
3. Prepare and submit the application within the deadline, before November 26, 2026.

If they do not submit the application within this deadline, they will have to wait for the next transfer call, which is expected not to open until the 2027/2028 academic year.

What should teachers do now?

1. Verify if you belong to one of the 9 called bodies. Check the bodies table in this article and verify your current administrative status.
2. Read the specific resolution for your body. Each body has its own requirements published in the BOCM of November 4, 2026. Do not assume that requirements are the same for everyone.
3. Review Order EFD/1041/2026, of September 30, which regulates the general procedure of the transfer competition.
4. Prepare the required documentation in advance. The deadline closes on November 26, 2026 and no extensions are contemplated.
5. Submit the application within the deadline (November 5–26, 2026, both inclusive). An application submitted after the deadline will not be accepted.
6. If you are responsible for HR or center management: anticipate possible vacancies in your staffing for the 2026/2027 academic year and plan coverage in advance.
