The Provincial Director of the Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports (MEFPyD), Juan Ángel Berbel, has highlighted the significant reduction in interinity in the educational sector that has occurred in recent years in our city whose rate “far exceeded 20% and is now around 13%”.
In an interview given to Onda Cero, the head of the Provincial Directorate of Education explained that this is due to the fact that “in the last six years, from 2018 to the present, 434 places have been taken in seven calls”.
“It is a generous offer that means 62 seats on average for each call,” he said, comparing it with what happened during the Government of Mariano Rajoy, given that, in the same period, from 2012 to 2017, “only 60 seats were taken in five opposition processes, which means an average of 12 seats per call.”
In addition, he recalled that with the previous People’s Government, in 2012, “a series of aspects were applied in the public administrations that led to the reinstatement of only 10% of the places that retired and not the vegetative growth that could exist in the centers in terms of demand for schooling.” This meant that even the European Union drew attention to Spain for the “abuse of temporality in terms of the people who were hired”.
Large offer in 2025
Regarding new calls, in the radio interview, Berbel explained that normally in November or December “they usually gather the working group of the Provincial Directorates of Ceuta and Melilla, where there are also the workers’ representatives, and once the Public Service confirms how many jobs are going to be reflected in the General Budgets of the State, it is determined how many places are likely to be put up for tender”.
“The call usually comes in the second half of March of the year in which it is called or the first half of April, and the competitions are usually held on the third Saturday of June, to have the whole process resolved at the end of July,” he explained.
Berbel has acknowledged that, “although we still do not know figures of how many places are going to be taken in each city”, he has advanced that “it will be a wide offer, precisely to try to limit us to that 8% of the interinity rate in the teaching sector”.
The Provincial Director recalled that in the year 2022 it was established that the oppositions of Secondary would be in 2023; Primary in 2024 and, next year, in 2025, Secondary.
However, “the possibility was left open, which we do not know yet if it is going to happen, of taking out loose places that may have arisen and that would already be for a process of free appointment,” he said.
