Teacher recruitment and compensation in Valencia

Overview

The Valencian Community has implemented new procedures for teacher recruitment, including a shift to September examination dates to reduce the workload for educators serving on tribunals during the school year. This new process involves thousands of applicants competing for nearly 2,000 positions across several provinces.

However, educators have raised significant grievances regarding unpaid compensation for duties performed during the 2025 examination period. Teachers report waiting over 420 days for payments that can exceed 3,000 euros, covering workload compensation and reimbursed expenses. While the Conselleria de Educación claims that 65% of committed amounts have been paid following budget approvals, teacher unions have described the situation as “unsustainable” and filed formal complaints with the Síndic de Greuges.
