Teacher Transfer Contest Illes Balears 2026/2027: deadlines and key information for civil servants

Key data

Career teaching civil servants who want to change their destination have a window of 22 business days to act: from November 5 to 26, 2026. The Ministry of Education and Universities of Illes Balears has called the national scope transfer contests for the 2026/2027 academic year, publishing the resolution in the BOE of November 4, 2026.

The key regulatory reference is Order EFD/1041/2026, of September 30, which sets the procedural rules applicable to the entire call. The complete bases, however, are published in the BOIB of October 29, 2026, which is the binding document for participants.

What does this regulation establish?

The call regulates national scope transfer contests for two differentiated groups:

• Civil servants of teaching bodies regulated by the LOE (Organic Law on Education): teachers, secondary school teachers, technical vocational training teachers, official language school teachers, music and performing arts teachers, plastic arts and design teachers, and plastic arts and design workshop teachers.
• Education Inspectors: civil servants of the education inspection body who wish to change their destination to or from Illes Balears.

The contest is of national scope, which means that a teacher assigned in any autonomous community can request a position in Illes Balears, and a teacher currently assigned in Balears can request transfer to any other community participating in the coordinated call.

Economic and operational impact

For teaching civil servants, participating in this contest has no direct economic cost, but does have relevant operational and personal impact:

• Destination and compensation: A transfer to Illes Balears may involve variations in compensation supplements specific to the destination autonomous community, such as the regional supplement or relocation assistance.
• Non-extendable deadline: The period from November 5 to 26, 2026 is the only official deadline. Failure to submit the application within that timeframe means waiting for the next annual call.
• Binding bases in the BOIB: Teachers who only consult the BOE may overlook specific conditions of the Balearic call. The BOIB of October 29, 2026 contains the complete bases and is the reference document for any claims or appeals.
• Concerted centers: The competent General Directorate is that of Teaching Staff and Concerted Centers, which indicates that the call may include positions in privately-owned concerted centers in addition to public ones, as established by the BOIB bases.

Who does it affect?

• Career teaching civil servants of the bodies regulated by the LOE assigned in any autonomous community who want to transfer to Illes Balears.
• Career teaching civil servants currently assigned in Illes Balears who want to request transfer to another autonomous community.
• Education Inspectors in active status who wish to change their destination to or from Illes Balears.
• Civil servants in situation of special services or leave of absence who, according to the BOIB bases, may have the right to participate (verify specific conditions in the BOIB of October 29, 2026).

Does not affect temporary teachers, education center staff or civil servants who do not belong to the teaching bodies regulated by the LOE or the education inspection body.

Practical example

A Secondary Education teacher (LOE teaching body) currently assigned to a school in Zaragoza wants to transfer to Mallorca for personal reasons. To do so through the official channel:

1. Must consult the complete bases published in the BOIB of October 29, 2026 to learn about the scoring criteria, centers with available positions and specific requirements for Illes Balears.
2. Must submit their application between November 5 and 26, 2026, following the procedure established in Order EFD/1041/2026.
3. If they do not submit the application within that deadline, they will have to wait for the next academic year's call.

Similarly, an Education Inspector assigned in Palma de Mallorca who wishes to transfer to the Community of Madrid must follow exactly the same process: consult the BOIB and submit an application before November 26, 2026.

What should teaching civil servants do now?

1. Download and read the BOIB of October 29, 2026: It is the document with the complete and binding bases. The BOE of November 4 is only referential.
2. Verify that participation requirements are met: Only career civil servants of LOE teaching bodies or the education inspection body can participate. Temporary teachers are excluded.
3. Review Order EFD/1041/2026, of September 30: It establishes the common applicable procedure and general scoring criteria.
4. Prepare and submit the application before November 26, 2026: The deadline is non-extendable. An application submitted after the deadline will not be admitted.
5. Check the centers with available positions in Illes Balears: The specific positions offered are listed in the BOIB bases. Identifying the options before formalizing the application avoids errors.
6. Keep proof of submission: In case of claim or appeal, proof of having submitted the application within the deadline is essential.
