The Department of Education will publish this Thursday the rectified lists of the allocation of 7,000 places for Primary teachers and it is expected that those of Secondary will be on Friday or, at the latest, on Monday.

That is the commitment that the Minister of Education, José Antonio Rovira, has acquired this morning with representatives of unions that, with a dozen people, have gathered at the department headquarters to protest the delay.

Rovira has confirmed that the technicians are working against the clock to have the lists “as soon as possible” and has been blunt in assuring that there will be no cuts in them. “The awards are being made based on the staff forecasts that the Botànic left us. There won’t be any cuts,” he said.

“Then we will see the responsibilities of each one in the process,” said Rovira, who added that the parties that made up the Botànic delayed the process “as long as possible”. “What has not left us prepared was the award, which was to match the positions with the vacancies,” he lamented.

What they have done is “a review” of a computer process with tens of thousands of people involved, for which they have also thanked the unions for their collaboration in monitoring the process.
