Castilla-La Mancha will offer 949 posts in its June 2027 teaching exams, combining 374 new positions with 575 carried over from 2025. Schools must also adjust lessons for the 3 December union vote.
The 2026 public employment offer is capped at 715 posts under the 120% replacement-rate ceiling for priority sectors. Castilla-La Mancha’s education department presented the allocation at a sectoral meeting on 20 October, with 374 posts for secondary and vocational-training teaching, including language-school posts. The remaining 341 posts are for the primary-teacher corps.
Those 374 posts join 575 from the 2025 offer, bringing the planned June 2027 exams to 949 places. The combined total comes from two annual public employment offers, rather than a single new allocation of 949 posts. The largest open-turn allocations include 89 posts in English and 83 in Mathematics. The published tables also reserve places for applicants with disabilities and for promotion to the higher teaching corps.
The 341 posts set aside for the Cuerpo de Maestros will be combined with the 2027 employment offer and called in 2028, in line with the improvement agreement signed by ANPE and the Consejería. The education offer applies the maximum 120% replacement rate permitted by state rules for priority sectors.
ANPE backed the offer, saying it fulfils the agreement and reaches the maximum replacement rate permitted under state rules. It also asked for more places in Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas, including English, and for vacancies in other language specialities. The department cited low retirement numbers and falling student numbers as limits on a larger EOI call. ANPE has again requested a dedicated meeting on the language schools.
The department said the 22 promotion places raised by ANPE had not been used to calculate the employment offer. It explained that those places are deducted from the offer because any that remain unfilled move to the open competition. The 2027 call will cover 38 specialities across three teaching corps; schools’ available posts informed the distribution. No Escuelas de Arte posts are planned, with the department citing legal uncertainty over bodies due to be phased out under the arts education law.
ANPE also challenged the department’s position that certain vocational-training speciality pools should not be integrated into secondary teaching until an exam call takes place. It said the issue is before the courts and sought a technical meeting. The department said it would call the PGA speciality for 2027 after a court halted its 2025 process; it will follow the court’s eventual ruling.
Public schools will also adjust their timetables for the teachers’ union election on Thursday 3 December. Voting is scheduled from 9:00 to 18:00. The required class suspensions depend on each school’s schedule and whether its polling station is in the same locality. For morning-only schools, the final session is cancelled when the station is local; if it is elsewhere, the last two sessions are cancelled.
Afternoon schools will suspend the first session for a local polling station or the first two if it is elsewhere. Schools operating both morning and afternoon sessions will suspend the final morning session and first afternoon session for a local station, with two sessions in each period cancelled when it is in another locality. At CEIP schools with split days, classes end after the morning period and the canteen service is maintained. School directors must notify families and arrange meal and transport services.
Members of polling stations, including part-time staff, will receive the following working day off. ANPE had asked for a polling station in every school and shorter voting hours; it also sought extra travel time for journeys exceeding 100 kilometres round trip. The Consejería said it would clarify that the timetable interruption applies to teaching hours. In a separate national pre-election debate, the government has outlined planned benefit changes, as reported in coverage of benefit proposals.
