Substitute and temporary teachers demonstrated on Tuesday afternoon in front of the Government Delegation in Lanzarote, joining the concentrations that are taking place throughout this week in all the islands.
The Insucan Teachers' Union of the Canary Islands has once again expressed its rejection of this call for competitive examinations for 2013, "due to the extemporaneous nature of its call at this point in the course, with less than three months before the start of said examinations." According to them, "these deadlines will not allow them to combine their preparation in conditions with their work as teachers."
In addition, they demand that the order and decree of substitute lists be modified "to include the stability of the group, before any call for competitive examinations", and that "an additional provision be incorporated, just as Andalusia has, which states that the interim teaching staff who have time of service as of June 30, 2010 (the date is the year of publication of the Andalusia decree), in any teaching body will be ordered in the corresponding lists of the specialties and/or bodies to which they belong, in accordance with the regulations applicable when accessing it".
The union also asks that changes be introduced in the Order of May 22, 2011 and Decree 74/2010 of substitute lists, so that it includes "at least two fundamental and non-renounceable things". On the one hand, "the assessment of training and the evaluation of teaching practice, together with the only two things that are now valued, which are the time of teaching experience and the examination grade". On the other hand, that "the participant in the competitive examinations for a specialty of which he is part of his list, will be a component of all the lists of the specialties in which he has teaching experience".
