  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "What qualifications are required for a HOD Science?",
      "a": "Most HOD Science roles require a relevant Bachelor's/Master's in the subject plus a B.Ed (or equivalent teacher-training qualification). Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is the average HOD Science salary in Lucknow?",
      "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to HOD Science roles in Lucknow. City tier and board affiliation move the number materially — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top of the range, state-board private schools at the base."
    },
    {
      "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": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?",
      "a": "This is a contract engagement — the offer letter will state the duration and renewal terms. Most school contracts run one academic year and are renewable subject to performance."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Science role?",
      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"HOD Science — Sherwood Academy\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Sherwood Academy follows the ICSE/ISC curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
    },
    {
      "q": "Will I get PF and statutory benefits?",
      "a": "Most registered schools enrol staff in EPF from day one and pay statutory gratuity. ESI cover applies if your gross is within the eligibility limit at joining."
    },
    {
      "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": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",
