    "Run weekly department meetings.",
    "Moderate assessments and exam papers for the subject.",
    "Own subject-level board results and improvement plans."

  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "Are detailed lesson plans expected?",
      "a": "Most schools expect weekly lesson plans submitted to the coordinator/HOD, plus unit plans at the start of each term. Templates are usually provided."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?",
      "a": "Most Indian schools quote annual CTC. In-hand is lower than CTC once employee PF (12% of basic, capped at ₹15,000 basic/month), professional tax and — where applicable — income tax under the new regime are deducted. Plug the offered CTC into the in-hand salary calculator at /tools/in-hand-salary-calculator for a line-by-line breakdown against this job."
    },
    {
      "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?",
      "a": "Most reputable schools in Malappuram 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": "Do I have to work weekends?",
      "a": "Most day schools follow a 6-day or 5.5-day week with Sundays off. Occasional Saturdays may go to events, parent meetings, or PD sessions."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",
      "a": "Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India. Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless."
    },
    {
      "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 big are the classes?",
      "a": "Class sizes in Indian K-12 schools usually fall in the 25–40 student range. Premium IB/IGCSE schools often cap sections at 22–25."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Mathematics role?",
      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"HOD Mathematics — Al Farooque Eng Med School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."
    },
    {
      "q": "How will I know if my application is being reviewed?",
      "a": "You'll get a status notification on School Jobs India (and by email) each time the school updates your application — Shortlisted, Interviewing, Offered or Not selected. Sign in and open \"My applications\" to see the timeline anytime."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Al Farooque Eng Med School?",
      "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities."
