      "a": "Most reputable schools in Kozhikode run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties.

      "q": "Is accommodation provided?",

    },
    {
      "q": "Are meals provided at school?",

    {
      "q": "Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?",
