Two teachers gain access as career civil servants for Secondary Education in Castilla-La Mancha

The Regional Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports of Castilla-La Mancha has approved the file for the access procedure to the Secondary Education Teaching Corps and has proposed the appointment of two candidates as career civil servants, effective September 1, 2026. The decision is formalized through the Resolution of 05/11/2026, published in the Official Gazette of Castilla-La Mancha (DOCM) No. 218, of November 13, 2026, and signed by the regional minister Amador Pastor Noheda in Toledo on November 5.

The resolution, which occupies pages 40025 and 40026 of the bulletin and bears the official reference [2026/8070], exhausts the administrative route. Its publication closes the selection process convened by the Resolution of 23/01/2025 (DOCM No. 20, of January 30, 2025) and culminates the processing initiated with the previous proposals of October 20, 2026, regarding the open entry and the entry for persons with disabilities.

The selection process and its scope

The call of January 23, 2025, covered, in addition to entry into the Secondary Education Teaching Corps and the Corps of Specialist Teachers in singular sectors of Vocational Training via the open entry, other procedures: access to the Secondary Education Teaching Corps from a teaching corps included in a higher classification group, the acquisition of new specialties, and the selection of candidates for teaching positions under an interim regime.

The scope of this resolution is precisely that access from a higher classification group. The Regional Ministry reminds in the text that those who access through this route “shall be exempt from completing the practical phase,” which explains why the two teachers included in the annex appear with the qualification “exempt” instead of an aptitude rating.

Once it has been accredited that the selected candidates meet all the required conditions and requirements, the Regional Ministry declares the competitive examination file approved and submits the appointment proposal. The regulation supporting this action is Decree 108/2023, of July 25, which establishes the organic structure and the distribution of competencies of the department.

The two proposed candidates

Annex I of the resolution, titled “Participants exempt from the practical phase,” identifies the two teachers, whose identity documents appear partially hidden in the official publication:

• María Dolores Sotodosos Tejedor, specialty 011 English, assignment in Guadalajara, with a score of 5.5586.
• María del Pilar León Sánchez, specialty 018 Educational Guidance, assignment in Ciudad Real, with a score of 8.5756.

Both are classified under Body 0590, Secondary Education Teachers, through the access procedure from a higher group body and without a practical phase. The Department will send the nominal list and the relevant documentation to the Ministry with competencies in education matters for the issuance of the corresponding career civil servant titles.

Deadlines and means of appeal

The resolution exhausts the administrative route, therefore a motion for reconsideration may be filed before the Counselor of Education, Culture, and Sports within a period of one month, in accordance with articles 123 and 124 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations.

Alternatively, a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed before the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Castilla-La Mancha within a period of two months starting from the day following publication, according to articles 1 and 46 of Law 29/1998, of July 13, regulating the Contentious-Administrative Jurisdiction.

Impact

The appointment consolidates the Secondary teaching staff in the region with two additional members, in sensitive specialties such as English and Educational Guidance, and provides educational centers with personnel with permanent assignments instead of interim staff. For the interested parties, it entails the status of career civil servants with economic and administrative effects from September 1, 2026.
