Law/Patents - Education / Pedagogy / Education | | Spanish term or phrase: concurso de oposición | | Para adquirir la condición profesor ordinario en una Universidad, es necesario primero ganar el respectivo concurso de oposición. |
| | | public entrance examination | Explanation:
(for a public-sector post)
This site explains how it works for teachers:
in order to become what is known as a functionario (civil servant) and have a job for life, teachers need to sit an official state exam (Oposiciones). This takes place every year or second year. It is a theoretical written exam. Those teachers who pass go to the practical exam where they are given the choice of 2 themes chosen at random from 25. They have to demonstrate the practical applications of the themes to the classroom. The third part of the exam is the accumulation of points that teachers get from attending recognised MEC methodology courses. The number of teachers who pass the Oposiciones each time is dependent on the number of places that officially are considered to be available in each area. Teachers who get the highest points are able to choose the school they work in.
