El Gobierno enfría la idea de crear un máster y una escuela de opositores para acceder a las categorías de alto funcionario

La Administración tiene problemas para captar candidatos en algunas áreas cuando necesita renovar las plantillas a corto plazo porque el 57% de los empleados estatales son mayores de 50 años

El Gobierno enfría la idea de crear un máster y una escuela de opositores para acceder a las categorías de alto funcionario

In July 2025, Public Function Minister Óscar López publicly announced his intention to change the selection model for the highest levels of the Administration. He stated that senior officials (A1 and A2 categories, about one-third of public employees) should be required to complete a two-year master's degree at an official school and then pass an exam similar to a civil service competition.

The proposal did not specify the fate of those who failed the final exam or whether this new model would only apply to the State or extend to all administrations and other categories. Now, more than a year after this announcement, and with no progress on the project despite the absence of any advancement, the Government is cooling its enthusiasm for implementing this idea, according to various sources within the Administration consulted by this newspaper.
