    {
      "q": "What kind of professional development is offered?",

      "a": "Most permanent teaching roles in Indian K-12 schools are open-ended after a 3–6 month probation. The offer letter you receive will state the exact terms, including probation, notice period and confirmation criteria."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Bal Culture Academy Ups?",
