A viral video shows the headmaster of a primary school in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, sleeping in a classroom while youngsters play. Villagers are outraged and discussing rural schooling. This incident shows some teachers neglect their duties and underscores the need for better education monitoring and responsibility.
A concerned villager’s viral video raises concerns. The headmaster, Rajesh Kumar Arjaria, calmly sleeps in the classroom using a student’s school bag as a pillow while youngsters giggle and play. This incident has highlighted education system flaws.
Frustration with the Education Department: Villagers say that despite frequent surprise visits by high officials, little changes. Rural teachers are sometimes accused of wasting school hours for personal rest or other activities. Negligence harms children’s education and lowers academic performance.
Action Against the Teacher
District Education Officer MK Koutarya confirmed the video and demanded an investigation. He stressed that no instructor should sleep during school hours and that the offender would be punished. The education department constantly reminds instructors to be punctual and complete their duties.

Chhatarpur has a history of controversial incidents. A teacher was suspended after a viral photo of her carrying a liquor bottle went viral. These episodes and the recent video show a worrying tendency of unprofessionalism in teaching. They emphasize the necessity for fundamental reforms to provide quality education to rural pupils.
Reviving Education
The headmaster napping in class should wake up education leaders and policymakers. Teachers must be held accountable through rigorous monitoring. Restoring the school system requires proper training, performance reviews, and remote teacher assistance.

Community and Parent Engagement: Improving education involves collaboration between the community, parents, and authority. School-parent contact helps identify and resolve issues quickly. Community meetings and parental involvement programs should be held regularly to encourage learning and student well-being.
Rural schools need infrastructure and resources, too. This includes providing classrooms, libraries, laboratories, technology, and educational resources. Students will be encouraged to learn and succeed in a supportive environment.
The headmaster dozing in a classroom revealed education system flaws and the need for reform. Teachers must be held accountable for their conduct and meet their student responsibilities.
We can give quality education to all students regardless of geography by addressing these concerns and making substantial adjustments. Only then can we improve future generations’ lives.
