Teacher Transfer Contest Castilla y León 2026/2027: deadlines and affected bodies

Key data

Teachers dependent on Castilla y León have a 22-day window to request a transfer. The Resolution of October 29, 2026 from the General Directorate of Education Professionals opens the deadline on November 5 and closes it on November 26, 2026. After that date, there is no possibility of submitting an application in this call.

The procedure is governed by the Royal Decree 1364/2010, which regulates state-level transfer contests for teaching staff. Being of state scope, civil servants can apply for positions in any autonomous community participating in the call, not just within Castilla y León.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution convenes two state-level transfer contests for the 2026/2027 academic year. Each call is directed at a different group of teaching bodies:

Both contests allow civil servants to apply for positions in Castilla y León, but being of state scope, the call is coordinated with other education administrations. The scoring and allocation procedure follows the criteria established in Royal Decree 1364/2010.

Both career civil servants and trainee civil servants can participate, provided they are dependent on the Education Department of Castilla y León.

Economic and operational impact

For affected teachers, the main impact is professional and personal in nature, not directly economic in terms of immediate cost. However, there are relevant indirect operational and economic consequences:

• Change of assignment and salary supplements: A transfer may involve a change in the level of assignment supplement or specific supplement depending on the position obtained, which directly affects the monthly salary.
• Transfer expenses: If the new assignment involves a change of residence, the civil servant may be entitled to compensation for forced or voluntary transfer according to applicable regulations, although the specific amounts are not included in this resolution.
• Educational center planning: Centers that lose or gain teachers through transfer will need to adjust their staffing for the 2026/2027 academic year, which affects internal organization and management teams.
• Single annual window: The transfer contest is the main mechanism for voluntarily changing assignment. Not applying means waiting for the next cycle.

Who does it affect?

• Career civil servants belonging to the teaching bodies called and dependent on the Education Department of Castilla y León.
• Trainee civil servants of the same bodies and dependency.
• Secondary school senior lecturers who wish to change center or location.
• Secondary school teachers currently assigned in Castilla y León.
• Vocational Training (VT) teachers who want to apply for a new position.
• Language teachers in official language schools or other centers.
• Music and visual arts teachers in conservatories and specialized centers.
• Education inspectors assigned to Castilla y León.
• Primary teachers of early childhood and primary education dependent on the Education Department.
• Management teams of educational centers that must anticipate possible staffing changes.

Practical example

A secondary school teacher (Mathematics specialty) with permanent assignment at a high school in Burgos wants to transfer to a center in Valladolid for family reasons. To do so officially and maintain all rights as a career civil servant, they must submit their application to participate in the transfer contest between November 5 and 26, 2026.

If they do not submit an application within that deadline, they will not be able to change their assignment through this channel until the next call. By participating in the contest, their application is scored according to the criteria of Royal Decree 1364/2010: seniority, academic merits, personal situation and other factors. If they obtain a position in Valladolid, the transfer would take effect for the 2026/2027 academic year.

The same procedure applies to a primary school teacher in Salamanca who wants to apply for assignment in León: they must use Call 2 (primary teacher body) and submit their application within the same deadline.

What should affected teachers do now?

1. Verify if you belong to one of the called bodies: Check if your teaching body is included in Call 1 (secondary, VT, languages, music, visual arts, inspectors) or Call 2 (primary teachers).
2. Confirm your administrative status: Only career civil servants or trainee civil servants dependent on the Education Department of Castilla y León can participate.
3. Prepare documentation before November 5, 2026: Gather the merits and supporting documents that will be evaluated in the scoring before the deadline opens.
4. Submit the application between November 5 and 26, 2026: There is no extension. The deadline is non-extendable according to the call.
5. Consult the complete resolution in the BOE: Review the scoring criteria, the positions called and the exact procedure in the official source.
6. If you are a school director: Anticipate possible vacancies or new staff in your staffing for the 2026/2027 academic year and communicate it to the education inspection if appropriate.
