  "aboutTheRole": "We're hiring a PGT to take Grades XI–XII through a full board cycle — strong subject command, clear exam strategy and patient one-on-one mentoring.",
  "dayToDay": [
    "Mentor a tutor group through the academic and emotional pressure of senior school.",
    "Maintain detailed answer-script feedback and improvement plans.",
    "Contribute to subject-department planning and resource banks.",
    "Guide students on competitive-exam strategy where relevant to the subject.",
    "Run doubt-clearing sessions and one-on-one mentoring for board years."

    {
      "id": "responsibilities",
      "heading": "What you'll handle as a PGT Biology",
      "body": "Teach senior-secondary classes (XI–XII), prepare students for board exams, set and moderate question papers, and mentor career-stage students."
    },
    {
      "id": "board-context",
      "heading": "Working in a CBSE school",
      "body": "As a **CBSE**-affiliated school, the calendar is structured around term-wise assessments, project work and board-format mocks for senior grades."

  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at The Bodhichariya School?",
      "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": "Do I have to work weekends?",
      "a": "Standard week is Monday to Saturday (often half-day Saturday). Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off."
    },
    {
      "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."
    },
    {
      "q": "What qualifications are required for a PGT Biology?",
      "a": "Most PGT Biology 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 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": "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": "When does the school want the joining date to be?",
      "a": "Joining dates are usually negotiable around the school calendar. Mid-term joining is common for replacement vacancies; new positions often align to April or the start of the next term."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is the leave policy?",
      "a": "Teaching staff typically get all school holidays plus 8–15 casual/sick leaves per academic year. Long vacations (summer, winter, Diwali, Holi breaks) follow the published school calendar."
    },
    {
      "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": "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."
