Do I have to work weekends?

Most day schools follow a 6-day or 5.5-day week with Sundays off. Occasional Saturdays may go to events, parent meetings, or PD sessions.

Are meals provided at school?

Subsidised tea/snacks are common; full meals depend on the school. Boarding schools usually provide meals as part of the package for resident staff.

What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?

Most reputable schools in Murshidabad run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties.
