Valencian teachers who passed the selective process called by the Order EFD/967/2026, of September 10th, now consolidate their position as permanent civil service employees of the Teachers Corps. The appointment, published in the BOE on September 17th, 2026, closes the cycle that began with the call in December 2023 and that led these teachers to be appointed as probationary civil servants in August 2024.
With the probationary phase completed and passed, the Ministry of Education formalizes the definitive status. The administrative and economic effects are retroactive to September 1st, 2026, which has direct implications for seniority increments, length of service and remuneration.
What does this regulation establish?
Order EFD/967/2026 formalizes the appointment as permanent civil service employees of the Teachers Corps to candidates from the Valencian Community selected in the selective procedure called by Order 11/2023, of December 19th. The process has followed the following phases:
- Call: Order 11/2023, of December 19th, from the Department of Education, Culture and Universities of the Valencian Community.
- Appointment as probationary civil servants: August 2024, after passing the competitive exam.
- Completion of the probationary phase: successfully completed by the candidates.
- Definitive appointment as permanent civil service employees: formalized through Order EFD/967/2026, with effects from September 1st, 2026.
The specialties recognized in the appointment are as follows:
| Specialty |
|---|
| Early Childhood Education |
| English |
| Music |
| Therapeutic Pedagogy |
| Hearing and Language |
| Primary Education |
The appointment exhausts the administrative remedy. Those affected who wish to challenge it have two options:
- Motion for reconsideration: deadline of one month from publication.
- Administrative contentious appeal before the National Court: deadline of two months from publication.
Economic and operational impact
Consolidation as a permanent civil service employee has direct economic and administrative consequences for the affected teachers:
- Retroactivity to September 1st, 2026: the administrative and economic effects of the appointment are retroactive to that date, which can generate differences in remuneration to be received if the formal appointment occurs days after the start of the school year.
- Calculation of length of service: the date of effects (September 1st, 2026) marks the beginning of the calculation of seniority increments and length of service as a permanent civil service employee, with direct impact on future remuneration.
- Definitive job stability: unlike the status of probationary civil servant, the permanent status implies immovability and full access to the rights of the civil service statute.
- For the Department of Education of the Valencian Community: the definitive incorporation of these teachers consolidates the staffing for the 2026-2027 school year, especially in specialties with high demand such as Therapeutic Pedagogy, Hearing and Language and English.
Who does it affect?
- Approved candidates in the selective procedure called by Order 11/2023, of December 19th, of the Valencian Community, who were appointed as probationary civil servants in August 2024 and have completed that phase.
- Teachers in the specialties of Early Childhood Education, English, Music, Therapeutic Pedagogy, Hearing and Language and Primary Education.
- Department of Education, Culture and Universities of the Valencian Community, which proposed the appointment and must manage the definitive incorporation into staffing.
- Public educational centers of the Valencian Community that incorporate these teachers as permanent staff in their staffing.
- Candidates not included in the appointment who consider they have the right: they have the appeal deadlines indicated (one month for reconsideration, two months for the National Court).
Practical example
An exam candidate who passed the teacher exams of the Valencian Community in the specialty of Therapeutic Pedagogy in 2023 was appointed as a probationary civil servant in August 2024. During the 2024-2025 school year, he/she successfully completed the probationary phase in a Valencian educational center.
With the publication of Order EFD/967/2026 on September 17th, 2026, this teacher obtains the status of permanent civil service employee of the Teachers Corps with retroactive effects to September 1st, 2026. This means that his/her length of service as a permanent civil service employee is counted from September 1st, and any difference in remuneration between that date and the effective date of appointment must be paid by the administration. From that moment on, the teacher has a permanent position, access to transfer competitions as a permanent civil service employee and full stability in public employment.
What should those affected do now?
- Verify inclusion in the appointment: consult the full text of Order EFD/967/2026 in the BOE to confirm that the name appears in the list of appointed persons.
- Check the assigned specialty: ensure that the recognized specialty (Early Childhood Education, English, Music, Therapeutic Pedagogy, Hearing and Language or Primary Education) is correct.
- Review the retroactive economic effects: verify with the Department of Education that remuneration from September 1st, 2026 is correctly calculated as a permanent civil service employee.
- Act within the deadline if there are discrepancies: if the teacher considers that he/she should be included and is not, or if there is an error in his/her appointment, he/she has one month to file a motion for reconsideration or two months to appeal to the National Court from publication (September 17th, 2026).
- Educational centers and Department: update personnel records to reflect the change from probationary civil servant to permanent civil service employee status, with the effective date of September 1st, 2026.
