Over 150 teachers appointed as career civil servants in Cantabria: key points of Order EFD/1160/2026

Key data

Over 150 teachers consolidate their permanent position in public education in Cantabria. The Order EFD/1160/2026, of October 27, published in the BOE on November 4, 2026, formalizes the appointment as career civil servants of the Teachers Corps (body 0597) to candidates who passed the selection process called by the Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Universities of Cantabria through Order EDU/10/2024, of March 5.

The administrative and economic effects are retroactive to September 1, 2026, the usual date for the start of the school year, which means that the remuneration rights as career civil servants are generated from that moment, even though the order is published in November.

What does this regulation establish?

Order EFD/1160/2026 closes the complete cycle of the selection process initiated in 2024. The path followed by those affected is as follows:

1. Call: Order EDU/10/2024, of March 5, which opened the selection process for the Teachers Corps in Cantabria.
2. Passing the civil service exam: Candidates completed the examination and merit phases established in the call.
3. Internship phase: Declared completed through Order EDU/29/2026, a mandatory prior step to permanent appointment.
4. Appointment as career civil servants: Formalized by Order EFD/1160/2026, with retroactive effects to September 1, 2026.

The three specialties of the Teachers Corps included in this appointment are:

Economic and operational impact

Appointment as a career civil servant represents a relevant change in legal and economic status for the affected teachers:

• Full remuneration rights from September 1, 2026, with retroactive effect with respect to the date of publication of the order (November 4, 2026).
• Consolidation of the permanent position in the Cantabrian public education network, which eliminates the provisional nature of trainee or temporary civil servants.
• Access to the teaching career with all associated rights: seniority bonuses, research bonuses, transfer competitions and internal promotion.
• Budget stability for the Ministry: the incorporation of over 150 positions to the permanent staff implies a commitment to structural spending in the Cantabria Budget.

For the regional administration, this appointment also means the definitive coverage of needs in three specialties with high demand in public schools: Early Childhood Education, English and Physical Education.

Who does it affect?

• Candidates for the Teachers Corps in Cantabria who passed the selection process called by Order EDU/10/2024 in the specialties of Early Childhood Education, Foreign Language English and Physical Education.
• Teachers who completed the internship phase declared completed by Order EDU/29/2026.
• Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Universities of Cantabria, as the proposing body and responsible for managing these positions.
• Public Primary and Early Childhood Education centers in Cantabria that incorporate these teachers as permanent staff in their payrolls.
• Candidates who were not selected or who wish to challenge the appointment, who have specific deadlines to appeal.

Practical example

A candidate who applied for the specialty of Foreign Language English in the March 2024 call, passed the examination phase, the merit competition and the subsequent internship phase (declared completed by Order EDU/29/2026), is appointed as a career civil servant of the Teachers Corps (body 0597) in Cantabria.

Its economic effects—salary as a career civil servant, calculation of seniority bonuses, access to research bonuses—begin on September 1, 2026, although the order was published on November 4. This means that, in practice, they will receive a retroactive payment corresponding to September and October 2026 calculated with their new status.

If this teacher considers that there is any error in their appointment or in the order of the list, they have 1 month from publication in the BOE to file a reconsideration appeal, or 2 months to go directly to the National Court through the administrative litigation procedure.

What should those affected do now?

1. Verify inclusion in the order: Check that the name appears in the list of appointees published in the BOE of November 4, 2026.
2. Review retroactive economic effects: Confirm with the Ministry or with the personnel office that the retroactive payment from September 1, 2026 is correctly reflected in the payroll.
3. Check the specialty and assigned destination: Verify that the specialty (Early Childhood Education, English or Physical Education) and the assigned school are correct.
4. Act within the deadline if there are discrepancies: If any error is detected or if you wish to challenge the appointment, the deadline is 1 month for a reconsideration appeal or 2 months for an administrative litigation appeal before the National Court, counted from publication (November 4, 2026).
5. Begin career advancement procedures: Once the position is consolidated, find out about the recognition of seniority bonuses for previous service as a temporary employee and about the deadlines to request the first research bonus.
