    },
    {
      "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": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",

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