A disturbing incident has emerged from a government school in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, where a teacher was filmed napping while her students fanned her with a handheld fan. The video, which has since gone viral on social media, has ignited widespread outrage and raised serious concerns about the quality of education in government schools.
The incident occurred at a government school in Gokulpura village, Dhanipur block. The video shows the teacher lying comfortably on a mat inside the classroom, with young students taking turns to fan her, attempting to provide relief from the scorching heat. The video, shared on July 27, has garnered over 11,000 views and nearly 200 likes.
Public reaction has been swift and condemning. One comment highlighted the long-term impact on students, saying, “When these children grow up, they look for leaked question papers to answer since they don’t have a strong education foundation.” Another user demanded strict action, while others called for increased surveillance in schools to prevent such negligence, stating, “There should be cameras everywhere. Only then will this negligence stop.”

The video caption on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) expressed disbelief and concern, reading, “If teachers themselves behave in such a manner, how can one expect quality education? A female teacher was caught on camera, making innocent children fan her to escape the scorching heat.”
This incident has sparked a debate about the state of government schools and the responsibilities of educators. Authorities are urged to take immediate action to ensure such behavior is not repeated and to uphold the standards of education in the region.
