This stabilisation process foresees that, exceptionally, all structural positions that have been occupied temporarily and uninterruptedly for at least the last three years prior to 31 December 2020 will be called. Through this route, 2,583 positions will be advertised by means of a merit-based competition, and the remaining 265 positions will be advertised by means of a competitive examination. In total, 2,848 positions will be stabilised by 2023.

Applicants for the merit-based competition could submit their applications from 21 November to 21 December 2022. Once this period is over, a scale will be applied that will take into account work experience, academic record and other merits such as having passed a competitive examination, among other issues.

This call for applications will be regional in scope, i.e. there will be no individual calls for applications for each island, and any teacher in Spain who meets the requirements may apply.

In the Balearic Islands, after the deadline for applications, a total of 5,796 people have applied for the Balearic Islands as their first choice. Of this total, 5,487 are part of the pool of interims in the Islands and 309 are outside the pool. The applicants have submitted 13,572 applications, of which 13,044 have been submitted by candidates from the pool and 528 by external applicants. Of the total number of applications, 13,560 were submitted by candidates resident in the Balearic Islands and 12 by non-residents.

On the other hand, of the total number of applicants, there are 16,996 applications for posts in other communities.

Extraordinary stabilisation process

The stabilisation measure corresponds to the application of Law 20/2021, of 28 December, on urgent measures to reduce the temporary nature of public employment, which establishes the objective that the rate of temporary coverage in the public sector should be below eight per cent of structural positions in public administrations.

To make this possible, there will be two different calls for applications, a merit-based competition and a competitive examination, which will be held in an extraordinary manner in 2023 due to the application of the aforementioned Law for the reduction of temporary employment.
