In an embarrassing incident, children in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, were seen fanning a female teacher who was sleeping on a mat inside the classroom. The female teacher, who worked in the primary division of the school, was napping in the classroom during school hours. The disgusting act was captured on camera, and social media users are sharing the video of the incident widely.
In the Dhanipur block of Aligarh's Gokulpur village, a primary school was the scene of the incident. In order to help the teacher escape the intense heat, children are fanning her while she naps, as shown in the video. With a hand-held fan, the children are fanning the teacher one by one. Sitting close to the teacher's head, one of the children can be seen fanning her. After the video went viral online, the parents of the children are angry and the incident has brought attention to Uttar Pradesh's poor educational system.
Parents say that their children attend school in order to receive a quality education and to learn anything, but in reality, they are made to do something else. The teacher is receiving criticism on the internet for her actions as well. "When the teachers are like this then how will the teaching be? Lady teacher makes the innocent children blow air to get relief from the scorching heat," remarked one of the social media users who uploaded the video.
The school where the incident occurred is reportedly a government school. An insider must have taken the footage, which went popular on social media. Sandeep Singh, the state minister of education, is born and raised in the neighborhood where the school is located. From the minister's home, the incident has brought up numerous concerns about the condition of the government school system. There are rumors that an inquiry into the situation has been ordered, but there are no reports of any negative consequences for the teacher.
