Teacher Transfer Contest in Galicia 2026/2027: deadline, positions and how to apply

Key data

Teaching civil servants from public education positions in Galicia who want to change their destination within the national territory have a window of 22 business days to act: from November 5 to 26, 2026. The Resolution of October 20, 2026 from the General Directorate of Centers and Human Resources of the Ministry of Education, Science, Universities and Vocational Training publishes the call for the state-level transfer contest for the 2026/2027 course.

The procedure is governed by Royal Decree 1364/2010, modified in 2024, and Order EFD/1041/2026. The submission of applications is exclusively electronic: no other channel is accepted.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution calls for the state-level transfer contest for the 2026/2027 course, an annual process that allows active teaching civil servants to request a change of destination to any point in the national territory.

The teaching positions included in the call are the following:

The regulatory framework governing the procedure is Royal Decree 1364/2010, which has been modified in 2024, and Order EFD/1041/2026, which establishes the specific bases of this call. Any teacher wishing to participate must strictly comply with the conditions set out in both regulations.

Economic and operational impact

The transfer contest does not imply a direct economic cost for the requesting teacher, but it has first-order operational and professional consequences:

• Professional destination for the 2026/2027 course: the result of the contest determines the school and autonomous community where the teacher will provide services.
• Annual nature and single deadline: those who do not apply within the deadline of November 5 to 26, 2026 must wait for the next annual call to be able to opt for a transfer.
• Mandatory electronic channel: submission on paper or by in-person registration is not valid. The teacher must have a digital certificate or electronic identification system compatible with sede.xunta.gal.
• State-level scope: the contest allows requesting positions in any autonomous community of the national territory, not just within Galicia.

From the perspective of educational centers and the administration, the transfer contest is the main mechanism for mobility of civil servant teaching staff, with direct impact on staffing planning for the following course.

Who does it affect?

• Active career teaching civil servants belonging to the called positions (secondary education professors, secondary education teachers, EOI, music and performing arts, plastic arts and design, vocational training, primary school teachers and education inspectors).
• Teachers currently assigned to public schools in Galicia who wish to change their destination within the national territory.
• Teachers from other autonomous communities who wish to request assignment in Galicia (as it is a state-level contest, participation is bidirectional).
• Directors of public educational centers and human resources managers of education ministries, who must anticipate possible vacancies and staffing movements.

Practical example

A Secondary Education Teacher currently assigned to a high school in A Coruña who wishes to transfer to Madrid for the 2026/2027 course must:

1. Access sede.xunta.gal before November 26, 2026.
2. Locate the procedure with code ED012A (state-level transfer contest).
3. Complete and submit the electronic application with their digital certificate or valid electronic identification system.
4. Keep the submission receipt as proof of having participated on time.

If this teacher does not submit the application before November 26, 2026, they will not be able to participate in the transfer contest for the 2026/2027 course and must wait for the next course's call. The same procedure applies to a primary school teacher, a vocational training teacher or an education inspector in the same situation.

What should teachers do now?

1. Verify if you belong to one of the called positions: secondary education professors, secondary education teachers, EOI, music and performing arts, plastic arts and design, vocational training, primary school teachers or education inspectors.
2. Check that you have a digital certificate or valid electronic identification to operate in sede.xunta.gal before the deadline expires.
3. Access sede.xunta.gal and locate procedure ED012A to review specific requirements and necessary documentation.
4. Submit the electronic application between November 5 and 26, 2026 (both inclusive). Do not wait until the last day to avoid technical issues.
5. Save the submission receipt generated by the electronic office as proof of timely participation.
6. Consult Order EFD/1041/2026 and Royal Decree 1364/2010 (modified in 2024) to learn about the scoring and destination allocation criteria.
