The Provincial Council creates an Early Childhood Education position and amortizes the Childcare position

The Plenary Session of the Provincial Council of Ciudad Real, in an ordinary session held on November 6, 2026, agreed to create position no. 1,823 for Senior Technician in Early Childhood Education, Group B, and to amortize position no. 1,110 for Childcare Assistant. The agreement, identified as particular no. 4 of the session, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Ciudad Real no. 220, dated November 13, 2026 (announcement number 3701). Interested parties have 15 business days to examine the file and submit claims to the Plenary.

Modification of the Organic Staffing Table

The edict from the Personnel Service specifies that the modification affects the Organic Staffing Table of the provincial corporation through two simultaneous operations: the creation of one civil service position and the suppression of another. The text was signed in Ciudad Real on November 10, 2026, by the president, Miguel Ángel Valverde Menchero, and by the general secretary, Luis Jesús de Juan Casero, and its public dissemination is the responsibility of the Head of Section of the B.O.P., Juan Luis Cuadros Campo.

The agreement will be considered definitively approved if no claims are submitted during the aforementioned period, in accordance with article 126.3 of Royal Decree 781/1986, of April 18, which approves the Recast Text of the legal provisions in force regarding Local Government, in relation to article 169 of Royal Legislative Decree 2/2004, of March 5, which approves the recast text of the Law Regulating Local Treasuries.

Characteristics of the new position

The created position is integrated into the civil service staffing table with the following classification, as it appears in the official announcement:

• Position no. 1,823, Senior Technician in Early Childhood Education.
• Professional classification Group B.
• Special administration scale, technical sub-scale, middle technician class.
• Category: early childhood education.
• Assignment to job position no. 4.11.036 (ID 303), Senior Technician in Early Childhood Education.

In parallel, position no. 1,110, corresponding to the category of Childcare Assistant, is amortized, such that the adaptation of the job structure is settled without a net increase in the number of civil service positions.

The Preschool Precedent

The operation is part of the process of adapting the provincial staff to educational regulations. In the plenary session of July 27, 2026, the corporation approved—with the agreement becoming definitive after the public exhibition period in BOP no. 144, of July 30, 2026—the creation of three Senior Technician in Early Childhood Education positions at the “La Flauta Mágica” Preschool (positions no. 1819, 1820, and 1821) and the amortization of one post and one Subaltern position.

That file (DPCR2026/35084) was processed in execution of Judgment No. 160, of March 17, 2014, issued in proceedings No. 224/2010 of the Second Section of the Administrative Litigation Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Castilla-La Mancha, and the plenary agreement of December 23, 2016, which established that the Childcare Assistant positions would be transformed “to be extinguished and transformed when they become vacant in group B,” requiring the Higher Technician degree in Early Childhood Education.

According to the documentation published in August, three Childcare Assistant positions then remained—No. 4.11.030 (ID 258), 4.11.039 (ID 333) and 4.11.045 (ID 379)—open to personnel from subgroup C2 or group B and occupied by career civil servants with the Higher Technician qualification.

Regulatory framework and effect on public employment

The basis for the measure is Article 92.2 of Organic Law 2/2006, of May 3, on Education, amended by Organic Law 3/2020, of December 29, and Article 16 of Decree 88/2009 of Castilla-La Mancha, which reserve direct educational care for the first cycle of Early Childhood Education to those who hold the Higher Technician degree in Early Childhood Education or equivalent.

The rules of the preceding file specified that the creation of Group B positions does not entail automatic access to that group: it requires inclusion in the Public Employment Offer and the successful completion of the corresponding selection process, within the framework of the eighth transitional provision of Law 4/2011, of March 10, on Public Employment of Castilla-La Mancha, introduced by Law 1/2024, of March 15. The modification now published follows that same logic of transforming Childcare positions into mid-level technician positions.

The change has a direct effect on provincial public employment: it consolidates one Group B position in the structure of the Provincial Council and extinguishes one subgroup C2 position. For applicants, it opens the way to a future access call within the employment offer planning, while personnel already performing those functions with a higher qualification maintain the transitional framework for internal promotion provided for in the regional law. In any case, the 15-business-day public exhibition period is the last opportunity to challenge the modification before it is definitively approved.
