A video has gone viral on social media showing students of Govt Higher Secondary School Ahiwara in Chhattisgarh crying and pleading for the teachers in their classroom.

The video, shared by @ambedkariteIND, has sparked outrage among netizens.

Aarti Sahu, a student who has just moved to class 12, talks about the struggles of her entire class. “We have not had teachers in our class for the past two years. We somehow managed to pass class 11, but now we are facing final exams. How are we supposed to prepare without teachers?”

Despite their attempts to contact the authorities, they were rejected and dismissed.

The students had approached the Collector’s office seeking help but were referred to the D/O, who promised to arrange teachers within two days. However, when they contacted him, they were turned away. “Who taught you to write an application?” the D/O gentleman asked rudely, rejecting their request.

According to the girl, there are only four teachers at the school, who teach classes 9 and 10. As a result, the students in classes 11 and 12 have no guidance.

As the video spreads on social media, internet users are expressing their anger and disappointment over the system’s failure to provide basic education.

One user shared the video, pointing out the irony of celebrating Teachers’ Day amidst so much neglect:

“Her raw pain of being unprovokedly reprimanded by caste abuse by an authority that is supposed to be doing its job. A private school student has at least 8 teachers at any given time. Do the #MATHS. Come on, celebrate #TeachersDay tomorrow at your child’s school. That’s #Privilege”
