| Vacancies offered until | December 31, 2026 |
The 2026/2027 teacher transfer contest called by the Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports opens the possibility of obtaining a position in Ceuta and Melilla for career civil servants from eleven teaching bodies. The resolution, published in the BOE on November 4, 2026, enters into force on that same day and regulates the process under RD 1364/2010 with the modifications introduced in 2024.
The most significant change compared to previous calls is the equalization of seniority recognized for temporary teachers with that of career civil servants for the purposes of merit assessment. This directly alters the order of precedence in the allocation of positions and can benefit teachers who have accumulated years of service as temporary staff before accessing the career civil servant body.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution calls for the national transfer contest for the provision of vacant positions within the territorial management scope of the Ministry of Education, which includes the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. The positions offered will include vacancies occurring until December 31, 2026 and those resulting from the transfer process itself.
The teaching bodies that can participate are the following:
| Teaching body | Observations |
|---|---|
| Lecturers of Secondary Education | Direct participation |
| Teachers of Secondary Education | Direct participation |
| Technical Teachers of Vocational Training (to be phased out) | Can compete for Secondary positions if they hold specialties integrated into Secondary |
| Lecturers of Official Language Schools | Direct participation |
| Teachers of Official Language Schools | Direct participation |
| Teachers of Music and Performing Arts | Direct participation |
| Lecturers of Plastic Arts and Design | Direct participation |
| Teachers of Plastic Arts and Design | Direct participation |
| Workshop Masters of Plastic Arts and Design | Direct participation |
| Specialist Teachers in Singular Sectors of Vocational Training | Direct participation |
| Teachers | Direct participation |
The provisional and final resolution of vacancies will be published on the website of the Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports, not in the BOE.
Economic and operational impact
For the affected teachers, this contest has direct economic and professional implications:
- Destination supplement in Ceuta and Melilla: Positions in these autonomous cities carry associated supplements for residence in island territories or those with special ties, which represents an improvement in remuneration compared to equivalent mainland positions.
- Equalization of temporary/civil servant seniority: The modification of RD 1364/2010 in 2024 changes the relative weight of merits. Teachers who accumulated years as temporary staff before passing the civil service exams will see that experience recognized in the scoring, which can improve their position in the contest compared to previous calls.
- Body of Technical Teachers of VT (to be phased out): Members of this body who hold specialties already integrated into the Body of Secondary Teachers can compete for Secondary positions, expanding their range of options and potentially accessing remuneration of group A2/A1 depending on the specialty.
- Positions until December 31, 2026: The call will include vacancies generated until that date, which expands the number of available positions compared to calls that only included vacancies prior to publication.
Who does it affect?
- Career civil servants from the 11 teaching bodies listed above.
- Teachers currently assigned to any autonomous community who wish to transfer to Ceuta or Melilla.
- Teachers assigned to Ceuta or Melilla who wish to change schools or request another assignment within the scope of the Ministry.
- Members of the defunct Body of Technical Teachers of VT who hold specialties integrated into Secondary.
- Temporary teachers who have recently accessed the career civil servant body and who, thanks to the 2024 modification, see their previous seniority as temporary staff recognized in the scoring.
- Public educational centers in Ceuta and Melilla managed directly by the Ministry of Education, which will fill vacancies through this process.
Practical example
A Secondary Education teacher (Mathematics specialty) who passed the civil service exams in 2020 but accumulated 6 years previously as a temporary teacher between 2014 and 2020 directly benefits from the modification of RD 1364/2010 introduced in 2024.
In previous calls, those 6 years as temporary staff did not count or counted in a reduced manner in the merit scoring. With the new regulation, that seniority is equated to that of a career civil servant, which can mean several additional points in the scoring and improve their position against colleagues with fewer total years of service but more seniority as career civil servants.
If this teacher applies for a position in Ceuta or Melilla, their position in the allocation order will be more favorable than in previous calls, and they will also access the remuneration supplements associated with those positions.
On the other hand, a member of the Body of Technical Teachers of VT (to be phased out) whose specialty has already been integrated into the Body of Secondary Teachers can participate in this contest by requesting Secondary positions, something that was not possible before the integration of specialties.
What should teachers do now?
- Verify if you belong to one of the 11 bodies called: Check that your teaching body appears in the list of the resolution. If you are a member of the Body of Technical Teachers of VT (to be phased out), verify if your specialty is integrated into Secondary.
- Review your updated scoring: With the modification of RD 1364/2010 in 2024, seniority as temporary staff now counts. Request or calculate your updated score to know what position you will compete for.
- Consult the provisional resolution of vacancies on the Ministry website: Available positions will be published on the website of the Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports, not in the BOE. Set up alerts or check periodically.
- Prepare merit documentation: Gather proof of seniority, training and other scorable merits before the application submission period opens.
- Assess the remuneration impact of the position: If you are considering applying for Ceuta or Melilla, calculate the residence supplement and compare it with your current remuneration to make an informed decision.
