Madrid expands to 1,756 teacher positions in 2026: specialties and key information

Key data

Madrid more than doubles the opportunities to access the Teachers Corps in 2026. The Resolution of June 16, 2026 from the General Directorate of Human Resources (BOE-A-2026-13388) modifies the current call, raising the total number of positions from 685 to 1,756, which represents a net increase of 1,071 positions. The reason: the incorporation of the personnel replacement rate approved in the Public Employment Offer 2026.

For candidates already registered, the news is doubly positive: more positions available and no additional management required. No new application period is opened, so submitted applications are maintained automatically.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution modifies the original call for the selective process for admission to the Teachers Corps and for acquisition of new specialties. The change is exclusively quantitative: the number of positions is expanded, without altering the bases, participation requirements or the calendar of the selective process.

The increase is justified by the incorporation of the personnel replacement rate included in the Public Employment Offer 2026 of the Community of Madrid, a mechanism that allows covering vacancies generated by retirements, permanent absences and other exits from the system.

The distribution of positions by specialty, with available data, is as follows:

Additionally, 123 positions are reserved for people with disabilities, in compliance with public employment access regulations.

Economic and operational impact

From the perspective of the teaching labor market in Madrid, this increase has a direct and significant impact:

• Higher success rate for candidates: With 1,756 positions compared to the initial 685, the ratio of positions per candidate improves substantially, increasing the approval probabilities for those already prepared.
• Specialties with higher structural demand: Therapeutic Pedagogy and Early Childhood Education concentrate more than 800 combined positions, reflecting the priority needs of the Madrid education system in diversity care and early stages.
• No additional cost for candidates: Since no new registration period is opened, those who already paid participation fees do not need to make any additional payment.
• Public budget impact: The incorporation of more than 1,000 new teaching civil service positions represents a relevant structural spending commitment for the Ministry of Education of the Community of Madrid in the coming fiscal years.

Who does it affect?

• Candidates already registered in the selective process for the Teachers Corps in the Community of Madrid: they benefit directly from the increase in positions without needing any action.
• Candidates for the Therapeutic Pedagogy specialty: with 427 positions, it is the specialty with the highest offer.
• Candidates for Early Childhood Education: 378 available positions.
• Candidates for Foreign Language: English: 317 positions called.
• People with disabilities participating in the process: they have 123 reserved positions.
• Civil service exam preparation academies and centers in Madrid: the increase in positions may generate higher demand for preparation for future calls.
• Public educational centers in Madrid: will receive a higher number of teaching civil servants in the coming academic years.

Practical example

Imagine you are a candidate for the Therapeutic Pedagogy specialty in Madrid and you registered in the original call when there were 685 total positions. With the modification published on June 20, 2026, that call now offers 427 positions only in your specialty, compared to what existed previously.

You don't need to do anything: your registration remains valid. There is no need to submit a new application, pay additional fees, or provide supplementary documentation. The process continues with the same bases and the same calendar, but with more positions available for you and for the rest of the candidates.

If you are a candidate with recognized disability, you should know that 123 of the 1,756 positions are specifically reserved for this group, which also improves access prospects in that quota.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify your registration status: Confirm that your application is correctly registered in the call. Since no new period is opened, only those already registered participate in the expanded process.
2. Consult the official resolution: Review the full text published in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-13388) to know the complete breakdown of positions by specialty.
3. Maintain preparation without changes: The bases of the selective process are not modified. The increase in positions does not alter syllabi, tests or evaluation criteria.
4. If you have recognized disability: Make sure you have correctly indicated this circumstance in your application to be able to opt for the 123 reserved positions.
5. Follow official communication from the Ministry of Education: Any additional news about exam dates or admission lists will be published through the official channels of the Community of Madrid.
