    {
      "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": "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.
