      "q": "Do staff get fee concession for their children?",
      "a": "Many established schools offer 50–100% tuition concession for the children of full-time staff, subject to admission criteria. Confirm specifics in the offer letter."
    },

      "q": "How do I write an application email for this TGT Social Studies role?",
      "a": "Keep it three short paragraphs: (1) subject line \"TGT Social Studies application — Douglas Memorial Higher Secondary School\"; (2) one paragraph on your qualifications and current role; (3) one paragraph on why Douglas Memorial Higher Secondary School and your earliest joining date. Attach a PDF resume and any teaching-credentials scans."

    {
      "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?",
      "a": "Typical schools run a screening call → a demo class (15–30 minutes for the relevant grade) → a panel interview with the Principal/HOD. Some boards also ask for a written response or a sample lesson plan."
