Occasional Saturdays may go to events, parent meetings, or PD sessions." }, { "q": "Where exactly is Better High School located?", "a": "The school is in Kolkata, West Bengal. Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference." }, { "q": "What qualifications are required for a Nursery Teacher?", "a": "The role expects relevant qualifications and prior experience in a similar setup. Schools generally prefer candidates with verifiable training and references for Nursery Teacher positions." }, { "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": "Can I negotiate the salary at Better High School?", "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." }, { "q": "What is the average Nursery Teacher salary in Kolkata?", "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to Nursery Teacher roles in Kolkata.
