The approved students who did not get a place in the teaching exams in the Canary Islands have expressed their "discontent" with the modification of the extraordinary stabilization procedure through competitive examination that began last June. Together with Intersindical, the group of candidates demands that the regulations that were in force during the process be returned to in the teacher and professor exams.
One of the candidates has contacted La Voz to criticize what has happened with this call, she is "outraged" with the decision made, with the change of the current regulations to which they registered in November 2022. On August 12, the change to a new regulation that modifies the previous one was announced. "We demand that it should not be possible to issue this after the exams have been held," one of the approved candidates told La Voz.
Teaching staff can be civil servants or temporary staff. In the Canary Islands, the latter were divided until now into three blocks organized as follows: block 1, for workers who have more than 5 years of experience; block 2, for those who have worked from one day to 5 years, and/or those people who have passed the opposition process; and block 3 focused on people who have not worked as teachers and have never passed the opposition.
Thus, in past calls, people who have not worked, but have passed the opposition, went directly to block 2. Now, one of the various measures incorporated in the modification of the order, includes that "many of the people who have studied and passed the process, will not be able to enter block 2 and remain in block 3, without the possibility of working," explained the young woman from Lanzarote.
A change that represents a "grievance" for the people who have passed the exam, "compared to those who have not", highlighted one of the students originally from Lanzarote. "This change destroys the effort and results of all the people who have passed and deserve to improve their position as teachers," she recalled.
What it will encourage is that some people have to "work as substitutes" and "move to other islands to work" or directly "not be able to teach this course", she stressed. "We are outraged. All this after sacrificing a lot of time and money in preparing ourselves," she said. What the approximately 3,500 approved candidates without a place in the Canary Islands who are affected by this are really asking for is a "request to the past".
In addition, the group of teachers and future teachers criticizes that the regulations have only been modified in the Canary Islands, in the rest of the communities it has not been changed. The young woman recalls that it is a modification of an order that has already been issued and will be approved in mid-September in the Parliament of the Canary Islands.
