      "q": "What is the average Principal salary in Almora?",
      "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, Principal pay in Almora rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",

    },
    {
      "q": "How big are the classes?",
