    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",
      "a": "Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India. Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless."

      "q": "What is the average Personal Assistant to Principal salary in Thiruvananthapuram?",
      "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to Personal Assistant to Principal roles in Thiruvananthapuram.

      "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?",
      "a": "Most reputable schools in Thiruvananthapuram run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties.
