The presented timeline indicates a shift from a roughly monthly timeframe to a ten‑day window for approving the language requirement through the emergency channels utilized by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Education. The aim is to implement a double decree that aligns the Valencian proficiency level with the varying administrative staff scales, while also formalizing the C1 level (previously referred to as mitjà) in connection with the Baccalaureate. This acceleration is intended to be activated in the autumn competition rounds of 2023. The plan’s speed depends on political consensus, but it also relies on streamlined bureaucratic procedures designed to meet the specified deadline.
With political agreement secured, the remaining challenge centers on the standard timetable governing administrative operations. A major concern concerns the duration required by the Consell Jurídic Consultiu, the supreme legal advisory body, to render its ruling. Two decrees are currently awaiting review: one within the Education Ministry for formal approval and another Valencian‑level decree connected to public service under the Justice Ministry. The Education Ministry decree has shown some movement, whereas the Justice Ministry decree has not advanced yet. Nevertheless, the urgent designation on the documents signals an intent to speed up their processing, reflecting a shared priority across ministries.
In accordance with the Consell Jurídic Consultiu Law, when urgency is clearly stated in the referral papers, the body operates with a maximum ten‑day horizon to issue its verdict. Both the Justice and Education Ministries have publicly stated their intention to press for immediate action, indicating a coordinated effort to compress timelines and bring the measures into effect sooner rather than later.
Within this interim framework, the Law Council convenes plenary sessions every Wednesday, during which it issues opinions on projects that have been registered. If an opinion is approved midweek, the file can advance to the council’s plenary session by Friday, enabling the decree to move toward formal adoption. In the forthcoming competitions, some applicants will aim for the C1 level, while others may choose C2 or B1 scales depending on the specific requirements of the position or program. Practically, this means eligibility criteria could shift rapidly for candidates in affected postings, with screening processes aligning to new language benchmarks and the evolving competency expectations.
Viewed together, the sequence of steps underscores the need for careful coordination across ministries, rigorous legal review, and timely parliamentary or executive approval. Stakeholders track the process closely, acknowledging that the final outcome will determine how swiftly educational and public sector roles recognize Valencian language competencies at the targeted levels and how this influences credentialing for graduates and public servants alike.
