      "a": "Most HOD Languages — Pioneer Montessori School roles require a relevant Bachelor's/Master's in the subject plus a B.Ed (or equivalent teacher-training qualification). Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",

      "q": "How do I make a resume for a ICSE HOD Languages — Pioneer Montessori School job?",

    },
    {

Plug the offered CTC into the in-hand salary calculator at /tools/in-hand-salary-calculator for a line-by-line breakdown against this job."
