Appeals against negative decisions on applications for accreditation of civil servant teachers

One year after ANECA began publishing the work of the review committees provided for in Article 25 of Royal Decree 678/2023 of July 18, and following the latest update of information in November 2024, the current status of appeals in the five review committees resulting from the restructuring carried out last February is reported.

In November 2024, only the former Social and Legal Sciences review committee had pending reports (21), despite the efforts of its members to hold more meetings than the other review committees (more than half of the appeals are concentrated in the Social and Legal Sciences branch). In order to double the number of members, it was split into the current committees 3 and 4, which have continued to maintain a demanding pace of work despite the difficulty of integrating new members.

The review committees issue the reports requested by the Council of Universities to resolve complaints filed against negative decisions on applications for accreditation of civil servant teaching staff. In anticipation of the upcoming receipt of requests for reports to resolve complaints against rejections of applications submitted as of April 1, 2024, already resolved under the new accreditation criteria, the five review committees have begun to receive the necessary training on the new procedure. 

These committees are still reporting on appeals against negative decisions on applications submitted up to March 31, 2024.
