The CCOO trade union has publicly denounced the alarming conditions under which the teacher recruitment exams are taking place this Saturday in various educational centers across the region. According to the union, the high temperatures in these facilities are exacerbating the situation for the thousands of candidates participating in the process.
The exams, which began around 9:00 AM and often extend beyond 3:00 PM, consist of three consecutive tests with minimal rest periods. CCOO emphasizes that this intensive day becomes particularly concerning amidst the high temperatures affecting Madrid's educational centers.
The union recalls its repeated calls in recent weeks for effective measures against the heat in numerous educational facilities, demanding urgent solutions to ensure the safety and health of participants. CCOO criticizes the "contradiction" of the educational administration in maintaining a selection process in facilities that, they claim, lack adequate air conditioning systems.
“"The Community of Madrid has stated on numerous occasions that it wants to select the best teachers to join public education. We fully share that goal. Precisely for this reason, the tests should be conducted in conditions that allow for the evaluation of the candidates' merit and ability, and not their physical resistance to heat."
CCOO Education Madrid insists that the evaluation of candidates should focus on their merit and ability, not their physical endurance in adverse climatic conditions, which could compromise the objectivity of the selection process.
