    },
    {
      "q": "Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?",

      "q": "Is B.Ed mandatory for this role?",
      "a": "Yes, for board-affiliated school teaching roles a B.Ed is generally required. Exceptions exist for very experienced subject experts and for play-school/early-years specialists."
    },

    {
      "q": "How do I apply for this HOD English vacancy?",
      "a": "Apply through this page using your School Jobs India profile. Complete your profile first (qualifications, experience, references) — schools shortlist faster when the basics are in place."
