Teacher Transfer Competition 2026/2027 in the Valencian Community: deadlines and affected bodies

Key data

If you are a teaching civil servant and are thinking about transferring to the Valencian Community, the window to act is already open. The General Directorate of Teaching Staff of the Ministry of Education has published three calls for national-scope transfer competitions for the 2026/2027 academic year, under the Order EFD/1041/2026, of September 30. The deadline for submitting applications and documentation is from November 5 to 26, 2026, with no extension planned.

The resolution was published in the DOGV on October 29, 2026 and in the BOE on November 4, 2026. The specific requirements for each teaching body are included in the DOGV, which is the source that interested parties should consult to learn the particular conditions of their body.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution publishes three calls for national-scope transfer competitions for the 2026/2027 academic year in the Valencian Community. Each call groups different teaching bodies. The complete procedure is governed by the Order EFD/1041/2026, of September 30.

The teaching bodies included in the calls are as follows:

The specific participation requirements for each body — minimum seniority, assessable merits, required documentation — are published in the DOGV of October 29, 2026 and should be consulted directly there, as they vary by body.

Economic and operational impact

For teachers, a transfer involves direct changes in supplementary remuneration, position allowance and, in some cases, in the seniority bonuses recognized by the destination administration. The Valencian Community applies its own regional remuneration system, so the specific economic impact will depend on the body, specialty and specific destination assigned.

From an operational perspective, educational centers in the Valencian Community that receive teachers through transfer competition will need to manage:

• The incorporation of new staff into the payroll for the 2026/2027 academic year.
• The coverage of vacancies generated by teachers leaving the community through the same national competition.
• Adaptation to the linguistic requirements specific to the Valencian Community (Valencian), which may be required depending on the destination.

For management teams and education ministries, this competition is the main mechanism for inter-regional mobility of civil servant teachers, with direct impact on staffing planning for the start of the 2026/2027 academic year.

Who does it affect?

• Active teaching civil servants from any autonomous community who wish to transfer to the Valencian Community and belong to one of the nine listed bodies.
• Teachers in leave of absence or special assignment situations who meet the participation requirements established in Order EFD/1041/2026.
• Education Inspectors who want to change their destination to the Valencian Community.
• Public educational centers in the Valencian Community that manage staffing and must anticipate personnel movements for the 2026/2027 academic year.
• Provincial directorates and personnel services of other autonomous communities, which must process applications from their teachers.

Practical example

A Secondary Education Teacher with permanent assignment in Castilla-La Mancha who has been in their current position for more than two years and wants to transfer to Valencia city can participate in this transfer competition. Their process would be as follows:

1. Consult the DOGV of October 29, 2026 to verify the specific requirements for the Secondary Education Teachers body and required documentation.
2. Prepare and submit their application between November 5 and 26, 2026 — outside this deadline, the application will not be admitted.
3. Indicate in order of preference the destinations (centers or localities) in the Valencian Community to which they apply.
4. If assigned a destination, they join the assigned center for the 2026/2027 academic year, with the supplementary remuneration corresponding to the Valencian Community.

The same procedure applies, with its particular requirements, for teachers, VET professors, EOI professors, artistic education professors and Education Inspectors.
