      "q": "Is there a probation period?",
      "a": "Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India. Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless."

      "q": "What is the salary for this Head of School role?",

      "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?",
