  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?",
      "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": "What is the average Headmistress salary in Navi Mumbai?",
      "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to Headmistress roles in Navi Mumbai. City tier and board affiliation move the number materially — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top of the range, state-board private schools at the base."
    },
    {
      "q": "Are detailed lesson plans expected?",
      "a": "Yes — IB schools require formal unit planners and concept-driven lesson documentation as part of standard practice."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this Headmistress role?",
      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"Headmistress — D Y Patil International School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "D Y Patil International School follows the IB curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?",
      "a": "Most Indian schools quote annual CTC. In-hand is lower than CTC once employee PF (12% of basic, capped at ₹15,000 basic/month), professional tax and — where applicable — income tax under the new regime are deducted. Plug the offered CTC into the in-hand salary calculator at /tools/in-hand-salary-calculator for a line-by-line breakdown against this job."
    },
    {
      "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": "What kind of professional development is offered?",
      "a": "IB schools regularly fund official workshops (IB Category 1/2/3 or Cambridge PD) for full-time teachers. Internal weekly PD sessions are also common."
    },
    {
      "q": "When does the school want the joining date to be?",
      "a": "Most school roles aim for a joining around the start of the next academic month or term. Once shortlisted, the school will agree a realistic date based on your notice period."
    },
    {
      "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",
      "a": "Absolutely — schools regularly hire candidates on notice. Be upfront about your release date so interview scheduling and the offer timeline can be aligned."
