    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",

      "q": "How big are the classes?",

    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Gandhi Vidya Niketan?",
      "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."
