“A notable aspect of this announcement is the introduction, for organisational reasons, of a mandatory presentation event, where applicants must submit their didactic programme,” stated Mónica Ramírez Barbosa, the general director of personnel and teacher training, in a press release.
This event will allow us “to gather accurate information about the number of participants and those advancing to the second test, facilitating the organisation of individual calls and assessing adherence to the official requirements of this document,” Ramírez added.

Highlights
Among the key changes introduced, applicants will be required to attend a presentation event and submit the didactic programme that will be assessed in the second selection test.
This event will also provide an opportunity for the examination boards to communicate assessment criteria and the rules governing the tests.
The date for this event will be announced by resolution of the General Directorate of Personnel and Teacher Training at least twenty days in advance.
Additionally, the procedure allows candidates unable to attend the first test due to maternity related to childbirth, justified medical reasons due to hospital admission, or absolute impossibility, to be invited to a second test, which will take place no more than seven business days after the initial date.
Another procedural adjustment permits the same individual to register for up to two specialities within each teaching group.
If both are in different groups, the scheduling of tests will ensure there is no clash, allowing participation in both.
It is also stipulated that those already on the reserve lists will not be required to reapply unless they wish to pursue a new speciality not previously listed.
Furthermore, this call reserves a total of 105 positions for internal promotion from subgroup A2 to A1, and two positions for horizontal access within subgroup A1 in the Spanish for Foreigners speciality in the body of official language schools, a category that has not been summoned since 2008.
