  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "Will I get PF and statutory benefits?",
      "a": "Yes — established schools provide EPF (Provident Fund) and gratuity (after 5 years), and most also provide ESI for staff under the wage threshold. Specifics are spelled out in the offer letter."

      "a": "Many schools offer a tuition-fee concession for the children of full-time staff, subject to admission criteria and available seats. The appointment letter or the school's written HR policy is the authoritative source — confirm what applies before treating it as compensation."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Starway International School?",
      "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification."

      "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?",
      "a": "Annual increments are usually announced in March/April, alongside the new academic year. Performance-linked bonuses vary by school — some pay a one-month festive bonus, others none."
    },
    {
      "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": "How do I make a resume for a HOD Humanities job?",
      "a": "Use the free school-style resume builder — role-anchored headline, B.Ed/CTET/PD block, and measurable outcomes per school (a one-page PDF is what shortlisters want): /resume-builder."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Humanities role?",
      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"HOD Humanities — Starway International School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."
