    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",
      "a": "Most schools run a 3–6 month probation with the same salary as confirmation. Confirmation is typically subject to satisfactory performance reviews and document verification."
    },
    {
      "q": "Are detailed lesson plans expected?",
      "a": "Schools generally require lesson plans aligned to the syllabus and pacing calendar. Coordinators review them weekly or fortnightly."

      "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?",
      "a": "The employment type is shown in the Key Facts section above. Fixed-term roles usually align to the academic year; permanent roles are open-ended after probation. The final letter will spell out renewal and exit terms."

Detailed CTET/TET and eligibility rules are covered in the guide: /guides/ctet-tet-qualifications."

    },
    {
      "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",
      "a": "Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice. Mention your last working day clearly in your application so the school can plan the joining accordingly."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Vana Vani Matriculation Higher Secondary School?",
      "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (state-board) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification."
    },

      "q": "What does a typical day look like?",
      "a": "Most teachers handle 4–6 instructional periods a day, with the rest going to lesson planning, assessment correction, and a co-curricular duty."
