Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless." }, { "q": "Do I have to work weekends?", "a": "Most day schools follow a 6-day or 5.5-day week with Sundays off. Occasional Saturdays may go to events, parent meetings, or PD sessions." }, { "q": "What is the average Principal salary in Bengaluru?", "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to Principal roles in Bengaluru. City tier and board affiliation move the number materially — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top of the range, state-board private schools at the base." }, { "q": "What kind of professional development is offered?", "a": "Most schools run weekly/monthly in-house PD sessions on pedagogy and assessment. Funded external workshops (board-specific or subject-specific) are offered to teachers in good standing." } ] }
