The Junta de Extremadura is the institution in which the self-government of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura (Spain) is organised. Its functions and powers, which include establishing general policy and directing the autonomous administration, stem from the Statute of Autonomy of Extremadura, enacted on 25 February 1983.

The Regional Ministry of Education and Employment is part of the Regional Government of Extremadura. This ministry brings together the autonomous competences in the areas of education and training policy, university education, labour and employment policies.
