  "aboutTheRole": "Step up as HOD to define what excellent looks like in your subject — exemplar lessons, resource banks, peer observation and steady results.",
  "dayToDay": [
    "Set the subject's annual scope-and-sequence.",
    "Hire and onboard new subject teachers.",
    "Run weekly department meetings.",
    "Moderate assessments and exam papers for the subject.",

  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "Are meals provided at school?",
      "a": "Subsidised tea/snacks are common; full meals depend on the school. Boarding schools usually provide meals as part of the package for resident staff."
    },
    {
      "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?",
      "a": "Most schools issue a written offer within 3–7 working days of the final round. If you don't hear back in 10 days, a quick polite follow-up via the \"Message employer\" button on this HOD Science listing is usually welcome."
    },
    {
      "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": "Is school transport available for staff?",
      "a": "Many schools offer staff bus service on their main routes, either free or at a nominal fee. Availability depends on whether your home is near a school route — confirm with HR."
    },
    {
      "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?",
      "a": "Typical schools run a screening call → a demo class (15–30 minutes for the relevant grade) → a panel interview with the Principal/HOD. Some boards also ask for a written response or a sample lesson plan."
    },
    {
      "q": "Where exactly is Chichra Apal L.p.school located?",
      "a": "The school is in East Garo Hills, Meghalaya. Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Chichra Apal L.p.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."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is English fluency required?",
      "a": "Yes — instruction is in English at most the school's schools. Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected."
    },
    {
      "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": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?",
      "a": "Most permanent teaching roles in Indian K-12 schools are open-ended after a 3–6 month probation. The offer letter you receive will state the exact terms, including probation, notice period and confirmation criteria."
