    "Own admissions strategy and student-retention outcomes.",
    "Represent the school with the board, regulators and the wider community.",
    "Drive teacher PD across the year, in-house and external.",
    "Approve and monitor the annual budget.",
    "Hire, coach and (where needed) exit faculty to maintain the standard."

  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?",
      "a": "Most Indian schools quote annual CTC. In-hand is lower than CTC once employee PF (12% of basic, capped at ₹15,000 basic/month), professional tax and — where applicable — income tax under the new regime are deducted. 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."
    },
    {
      "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": "Is English fluency required?",
      "a": "Yes — instruction is in English at most CBSE schools. Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected."
    },
    {
      "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?",
      "a": "Most schools have 2–3 rounds: an HR call, a demo lesson, then a leadership interview. Be ready to walk through one of your lesson plans and how you handle classroom management."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Tirthankar Mahaveer Vidya Mandir follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
    },
    {
      "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?",
      "a": "Schools usually shortlist within a week or two. Set up a job alert for similar roles so you don't miss the next match if this one doesn't move forward."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Tirthankar Mahaveer Vidya Mandir?",
      "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (CBSE) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification."
    },
    {
      "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",
      "a": "Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice. Mention your last working day clearly in your application so the school can plan the joining accordingly."
    },
    {
      "q": "How big are the classes?",
      "a": "Section sizes typically range from 25 to 40 students. The school will confirm exact section size during the interview based on the grade you'll teach."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",
      "a": "Most schools run a 3–6 month probation with the same salary as confirmation. Confirmation is typically subject to satisfactory performance reviews and document verification."
