District official visited school in Jahanabad, sat in the last row, and identified issues with attendance and learning levels

An inspection of a school in the Jahanabad district, Bihar state, conducted by district official Chhiring Bai Bhutia, caused a wide resonance on social media due to its unusual approach. Usually, when an official arrives at a school for an inspection, teachers and students prepare for the reception and examination. However, this official acted differently.

During the surprise inspection of a model school and a girls' high school, the official did not limit himself to the role of an observer. He entered the classroom directly and sat among the students. Moreover, he chose the farthest spot in the last row and listened to the lesson as if he were a student himself.

Before sitting in the class, the official addressed the teacher, saying, 'Gurudji, you are teaching; today we will also sit in the classroom.' After that, he took a seat in the farthest row. During the lesson, he carefully monitored the teaching methods and listened to the educational material. This approach of the official attracted attention because he tried to understand the learning process by sitting with the children and asking them questions related to the subject.

During the inspection, the official focused on how well the children absorbed the material and how the teaching was progressing in the classroom. His method was distinguished by the fact that instead of a formal inspection, he personally experienced the atmosphere of the classroom by sitting as a student to see how the teacher conducted the lesson and how the students perceived it.

During the inspection, the official discovered several points that displeased him. The school has 1200 enrolled students, but only about 300 were present during the inspection. The official expressed his indignation over such low attendance. Furthermore, it was revealed that the academic level in the school is weak.

After the official asked the students questions about the subject to assess their knowledge and did not receive satisfactory results regarding the level of education, he ordered the immediate improvement of all school operational systems.

This incident went viral on social media, where a video of the official sitting in the last row among the children is circulating. This image attracted great public attention. In addition to observing the lessons, he actively communicated with the students, trying to understand their educational status. Thus, the inspection in Jahanabad became a topic of discussion for two reasons: it attracted attention with its unusual method of sitting in the last row, and it revealed low attendance and a weak educational level in the school.

Teachers publicly humiliated in China over low student grades; photos go viral

News from China has revealed a situation that has sparked a new discussion regarding the education system and respect for teachers. In this instance, teachers were subjected to public humiliation by being brought onto a stage due to their students' low results. Photos of this incident quickly spread across social media, causing widespread public outrage over the methods employed by the education department.

This incident took place in Leibao District, Sichuan Province, China. At the end of August, an internal meeting of the education department was held there. During this gathering, teachers from schools with poor performance were invited onto a stage where their photographs were taken.

According to reports, over twenty primary school teachers were called onto the stage. Recent low scores of the students were displayed on a large screen behind them. These scores were less than 30 out of 100. The situation did not stop there: two large Chinese characters meaning 'shame' or 'disgrace' were shown on the screen. Thus, the teachers were publicly shamed for their students' poor academic performance.

Subsequently, about twenty middle school teachers were also invited onto the stage. The average score of these teachers' students was below 15 out of 100. For them, similar words denoting shame were displayed on the screen.

As soon as photos of this sequence of events appeared on social media, they began to spread rapidly. Soon, this case attracted public attention in China. On one major social media platform, a post related to these pictures was viewed over 100 million times. People questioned how justified the public humiliation of teachers is when students have low grades. Many argued that the reason for low scores lies not only with the teachers but also with the students' learning conditions, family environment, school infrastructure, and many other factors.

Following the escalation, local authorities issued apologies. According to reports, Leibao District expressed regret over organizing the event where teachers were brought onto a stage for photographs. This incident also triggered a discussion about the pressure existing in China's education sector regarding grades. Many believe that instead of intimidating or humiliating teachers to improve student performance, they should be provided with better resources and support.

This situation raises a serious question: can the full responsibility for a student's low grades be placed solely on the teacher? A child's academic performance depends on numerous aspects. Their effort, learning conditions, family support, accessible school infrastructure, and the student's own interest all play an important role. In this context, it is natural to discuss how appropriate it is to publicly shame a teacher based solely on exam results.
