      "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",

      "q": "Is school transport available for staff?",

      "q": "Is English fluency required?",

      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "G.B. Memorial Institution follows the state-board curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
