    {
      "q": "Is B.Ed mandatory for this role?",
      "a": "For most K-12 teaching positions a B.Ed (or NIOS D.El.Ed for primary) is preferred and often required by board affiliations; pre-primary and special-skill roles sometimes accept relevant certification in lieu. Detailed CTET/TET and eligibility rules are covered in the guide: /guides/ctet-tet-qualifications."

    {
      "q": "Do I have to work weekends?",

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

    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Jawahar Model School Phinther?",

    },
    {

      "a": "Beyond teaching periods you'll typically own a homeroom, run one club/activity, support exam logistics, and contribute to one school-wide initiative each term."
    },
    {
      "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": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Jawahar Model School Phinther follows the state-board curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
