Until now it was like this Patricia del Pozo Hernández the main leader of this autonomous portfolio, which will now be in the hands of Carmen Catilloformer number two of Javier Imbroda in the previous legislature, who has been a civil servant at the Board's Education Inspectors Corps since 2008 and belongs to the Secondary Education Teachers' Corps of Business Administration.
As for Del Pozo's role within Moreno Bonilla's cabinet, she is not leaving it, but has been reconfirmed as head of government. the Culture and Sports portfoliothe same area of which he was head between 2019 and 2022 and which until now was integrated into the Tourism area. A move that is mainly linked to the recent controversy over the opposition of teachers in Madrid's public education system due to a fundamental error in the provisional allocation of their destinations in the Andalusian geography.
Chaos at education competitions in Andalusia
It was this weekend that the Andalusian Ministry of Education confirmed what was suspected in the sector. An error in the provisional allocation of positions for career civil servants caused chaos in the system when they were affected a total of 10,000 teachers who gained access to their place through the merit competition in 2022.
The ruling affected more than 3,000 teachers who obtained public positions in Andalusia last year through stabilization through a merit-based competition and who were appointed as career civil servants on September 1. However, if we look at the full plan, and taking into account the coverage of the functions as a whole, we are talking about 10,000 teachers. Sources from the ministry itself, hitherto responsible for Del Pozo, assured that the error would be corrected ex officio after the final ruling.
According to what the unions denounced regarding this huge mistake, it is The staff that was stabilized on merit in 2023 has been placed behind the replacement opponents of the same yearwho will be appointed as career civil servants on September 1, 2024, a major change that has completely transformed the order of the system.
As a result of this failure, the allocation of destinations failed, as the 3,000 errors are not isolated cases and therefore The award is considered invalid at the discretion of the trade union organizations.
“We understand that the placement of staff in Andalusia is an extremely complex procedure, where the technical staff of the Directorate General of Teaching Staff and the HR management of the Ministry work hard every summer to offer teaching staff a destination for the following year. Therefore, at DxP we understand that errors can occur, that is not the problem, it is possible given the complexity of the process. The problem is that, since the judging does not work,. The ministry would have to issue a statement and declare it null and void in order to publish a new award “in a transparent manner for the time being because there are many thousands of affected teachers,” said Teachers for the Public.
Moreno Bonilla reforms half of his government
