Bhagalpur School Controversy: Teacher Caught On Video Making Students Wash Her Scooty

Bhagalpur Teacher Viral Video: ​The disturbing footage originating from Bhagalpur, Bihar displaying a female teacher at Mukheriya Madhya Vidyalaya of Jagdishpur block compelling two students to scrub her mud-caked scooty while classes were in progress has gone viral, eliciting widespread outrage. This incident has amplified serious worries regarding instructor behaviour and learner welfare.​

As seen in the video, students were spotted cleaning the teacher's scooter as classes carried on. This misappropriation of school time has drawn criticism from guardians and locals, who anticipate educational institutions to prioritize pedagogy. The occurrence has prompted demands for liability and enhanced oversight in schools.​

As per the media reports, District Education Officer Rajkumar Sharma acknowledged the issue, stating the video was obtained through press mediums. He assured an investigation is underway and the teacher involved will be asked to furnish an explanation. Appropriate action will be administered depending on the findings.

Netizens reactions

As the video went viral on social media, the comment section was full of netizens' reactions. One user said, 'Bihar has nothing to do with education.' Another user said, 'Suspend this madam.' A third user said, 'Madam, you are not children, would you have got them done? Have some shame, you did not even pity these innocent children.' 'Why are you getting rid of studies and cleaning... Could have cleaned up even in free time,' a user wrote. ​

The viral video has ignited a more comprehensive dialogue regarding the role of educators and the importance of preserving a learning-centred environment in schools. As the probe continues, the community awaits decisive steps to forestall such incidents going forward.

Another similar case

This is not a singular instance. Days earlier, an identical incident happened in Bengaluru's Yelahanka locality, a government school is being investigated for allegedly forcing pupils to clean the school restrooms despite clear instructions from the Karnataka Education Department that forbade such actions. ​

Two teachers at a government higher primary school in Begur, southeast Bengaluru, were also suspended in January for supposedly pressuring students to clean the restrooms. Nagesh, a social worker from Seshadripuram, filed a complaint against Sakamma, the headmistress, and Sumitramma, the physical training teacher, under the Juvenile Justice Act.
