    {
      "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."
    },
    {
      "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": "Do staff get fee concession for their children?",
      "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": "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": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?",
      "a": "Most reputable schools in Mumbai run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties.

    },
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this Principal — Mahindra Academy role?",
      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"Principal — Mahindra Academy — Mahindra Academy\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."

    {
      "q": "What is the average Principal — Mahindra Academy salary in Mumbai?",
      "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to Principal — Mahindra Academy roles in Mumbai.

      "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?",
      "a": "Most schools run yearly increments tied to the academic calendar (April cycle). Bonus structure depends on the school — confirm in writing before accepting the offer."
