  "faq": [
    {
      "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": "What does a typical day look like?",
      "a": "School days usually run 7.5–8 hours with 5–6 teaching periods, plus prep, lunch and one or two non-teaching duties (homework checks, library, club). Saturdays vary by school."
    },
    {
      "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?",
      "a": "Most reputable schools in Mumbai run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties. On-campus, ICC (Internal Complaints Committee) compliance is standard. Confirm the route map and the last drop time during the interview."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is English fluency required?",
      "a": "Yes — instruction is in English at most IB schools. Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Dr. Pillai Global Academy?",
      "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities."
    },
    {
      "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?",
      "a": "Most schools issue a written offer within 3–7 working days of the final round. If you don't hear back in 10 days, a quick polite follow-up via the \"Message employer\" button on this Special Educator listing is usually welcome."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Dr. Pillai Global Academy follows the IB curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is the average Special Educator salary in Mumbai?",
      "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to Special Educator roles in 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": "What qualifications are required for a Special Educator?",
      "a": "Most Special Educator roles require a relevant Bachelor's/Master's in the subject plus a B.Ed (or equivalent teacher-training qualification). Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply."
    },
    {
      "q": "Do staff get fee concession for their children?",
      "a": "Many schools offer a tuition-fee concession for the children of full-time staff, subject to admission criteria and available seats. The appointment letter or the school's written HR policy is the authoritative source — confirm what applies before treating it as compensation."
