    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Merlin Public School Rawalpora follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
    },
    {
      "q": "Are meals provided at school?",

    },
    {
      "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 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": "Is English fluency required?",

      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Merlin Public School Rawalpora?",
      "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."
