The Ministry of Education, Vocational Training, Physical Activity and Sports of the Canary Islands Government, headed by Poli Suárez, has approved in the Governing Council the Public Employment Offer (OPE) for non-university teaching staff corresponding to the year 2025, which includes a total of 957 positions for the different bodies of the Canarian public education system.

This new offer is part of the lines of action promoted by the Ministry to advance in the **stabilization of teaching employment, reduce the rate of temporality, and guarantee the continuity** of educational projects in schools, fostering greater stability in staff and an improvement in the quality of public educational services.

The 2025 Public Employment Offer is distributed among the different teaching bodies, with 466 positions for the Secondary Education teaching body; 457 for the teachers body; seventeen for the Specialists in Singular Sectors of Vocational Training teaching body; seven for the Official Language Schools teaching body; five for the Plastic Arts and Design teaching body; three for the Music and Performing Arts teaching body – one of them corresponding to a rectification of the 2023 OPE –; one for the Plastic Arts and Design Workshop teachers body; and one position for the Education Inspectors body

The Director General of Personnel and Teacher Training, Mónica Ramírez, emphasized that this OPE "responds to responsible and sustained planning over time, which allows us to continue consolidating stable employment and offer certainty to both teachers and management teams." In this regard, she pointed out that "staff stability is key to reinforcing educational quality and ensuring continuity for the pedagogical projects of the schools."

Ramírez also highlighted that "this offer is added to the significant effort made in the last two academic years to transform temporary employment into stable employment," a process that has allowed the incorporation of 6,125 new career civil servants into the Canarian public education system after the completion of stabilization procedures and ordinary calls. "This work has been key to reducing temporality, strengthening the stability of staff, and offering greater certainty to both teachers and schools," he added

The approval of this offer is not an isolated measure, but rather part of a broader plan that combines employment stabilization with the incorporation of new teaching profiles and the reinforcement of strategic areas of the education system, such as **diversity support, educational guidance, or vocational training**. In this regard, the OPE constitutes a fundamental tool for continuing to move towards a more solid educational model, with professionals who can carry out their work with stability and future prospects.

The approval of this public employment offer will allow, in the coming months, the announcement of selection processes for entry into the teaching corps through the corresponding competitive examinations.
