    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Guru Nanak Dev Global Academy follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."

    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Guru Nanak Dev Global Academy?",
      "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (CBSE) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",
      "a": "Most schools run a 3–6 month probation with the same salary as confirmation. Confirmation is typically subject to satisfactory performance reviews and document verification."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is school transport available for staff?",
      "a": "Staff transport varies. Larger schools with their own fleet usually allow staff onboarding on existing routes; smaller schools may not run dedicated routes."
