      "a": "Keep it three short paragraphs: (1) subject line \"Librarian application — Bishop Cotton School\"; (2) one paragraph on your qualifications and current role; (3) one paragraph on why Bishop Cotton School and your earliest joining date. Attach a PDF resume and any teaching-credentials scans."
    },
    {
      "q": "Will I get PF and statutory benefits?",
      "a": "Most registered schools enrol staff in EPF from day one and pay statutory gratuity. ESI cover applies if your gross is within the eligibility limit at joining."
    },
    {
      "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?",
      "a": "Most reputable schools in Shimla run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties.

      "q": "Does Bishop Cotton School help with relocation from another city?",

    },
    {
      "q": "Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?",
      "a": "School roles are on-site by default — classroom teaching and student supervision require physical presence. Online tutoring openings are tagged separately on School Jobs India."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is school transport available for staff?",
      "a": "Many schools offer staff bus service on their main routes, either free or at a nominal fee. Availability depends on whether your home is near a school route — confirm with HR."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is background verification done before joining?",
      "a": "Standard pre-joining checks cover qualification documents, prior employment, and reference calls. Some larger groups also do criminal-record verification."

      "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?",
