Be upfront about your release date so interview scheduling and the offer timeline can be aligned." }, { "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?", "a": "Most reputable schools in Patiala 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": "What kind of professional development is offered?", "a": "Most schools run weekly/monthly in-house PD sessions on pedagogy and assessment. Funded external workshops (board-specific or subject-specific) are offered to teachers in good standing." }, { "q": "Do I have to work weekends?", "a": "Most day schools follow a 6-day or 5.5-day week with Sundays off.
