      "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?",
      "a": "This is a contract engagement — the offer letter will state the duration and renewal terms. Most school contracts run one academic year and are renewable subject to performance."

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