  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "Will I get PF and statutory benefits?",
      "a": "Yes — established schools provide EPF (Provident Fund) and gratuity (after 5 years), and most also provide ESI for staff under the wage threshold. Specifics are spelled out in the offer letter."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Salt Lake School follows the ICSE/ISC curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
