The call, published in the BOE on November 4, 2026 and previously in the BORM on October 27, complies with Order EFD/1041/2026 and channels the inter-regional mobility process for civil servant teachers for the 2026/2027 academic year.
The application is directed exclusively to the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training of the Region of Murcia, regardless of the final destination requested within Spanish territory.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution publishes the call for the state-level transfer competition for the 2026/2027 academic year. This mechanism allows civil servant teachers to request a change of position between different autonomous communities within the Spanish education system, guaranteeing geographic mobility of civil servant teaching staff.
The teaching bodies included in the call are as follows:
| Teaching body | Teaching area |
|---|---|
| Secondary Education Lecturers | Secondary Education |
| Secondary Education Teachers | Secondary Education |
| Official Language School Teachers (EOI) | Languages |
| Music and Performing Arts Teachers | Artistic education |
| Plastic Arts and Design Teachers | Artistic education |
| Vocational Training Teachers | Vocational Training |
| Plastic Arts and Design Workshop Masters | Artistic education |
| Teachers | Primary and Early Childhood Education |
| Education Inspectors | Educational inspection |
The complete call, with scoring scales, participation requirements and allocation procedures, was published in the Official Bulletin of the Region of Murcia (BORM) on October 27, 2026. The BOE of November 4 acts as state-level publication.
Economic and operational impact
For civil servant teachers, participating in the transfer competition has no direct economic cost, but it does have relevant operational and professional consequences:
- Definitive change of position: the allocation of a position in another autonomous community implies a permanent transfer, with implications for contributions, recognized seniority and regional supplements corresponding to the new destination.
- Remuneration supplements: each autonomous community sets its own specific and singular supplements. A transfer may result in variations in total remuneration, up or down, depending on the chosen destination.
- Loss of current position: obtaining a new position entails renouncing the original position. It is an irreversible decision once the allocation is resolved.
- Non-extendable deadline: the period from November 5 to 26, 2026 is the only time to participate in this call. There is no second opportunity until the next annual cycle.
Who does it affect?
- Career civil servants of the Secondary Education Lecturers body with position in Murcia who wish to transfer to another community.
- Career civil servants of the Secondary Education Teachers body in the same situation.
- Civil servant teachers from Official Language Schools with position in Murcia.
- Civil servant teachers of Music and Performing Arts and Plastic Arts and Design.
- Teachers and Workshop Masters of Vocational Training and Plastic Arts and Design.
- Civil servants of the Teachers body with position in centers in the Region of Murcia.
- Education Inspectors assigned to the Murcia educational inspection.
- Civil servant teachers from other autonomous communities who wish to request a position in the Region of Murcia (in this case, they process their application through their own ministry of origin).
Practical example
A civil servant teacher from the Secondary Education Teachers body with a definitive position at a secondary school in Murcia capital wishes to transfer to Catalonia for family reasons. To participate in this call, she must:
- Submit her application to the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training of Murcia before November 26, 2026.
- Indicate the positions requested in Catalonia in order of preference, in accordance with the scoring scale published in the BORM of October 27, 2026.
- Prove the merits that correspond to her (seniority, training, work-life balance, etc.) according to the criteria of Order EFD/1041/2026.
If she does not submit the application before November 26, she will have to wait for the next annual state-level transfer call to try again.
