Ayodhya: A teacher in Ayodhya's Khajurahat government primary school has been suspended and a 'Shiksha Mitra' (ad hoc) in the same school has been terminated for sending school children to get her slippers repaired.
Three children with a bag were confronted by the reporter of a local channel and he asked them why they were not in the school.
The children said that the Shiksha Mitra Rajni Gupta had sent them to get her slippers repaired. And, the incident was caught in the video.
Basic Education Officer Santosh Dev Pandey was shown the clip after which he terminated the services of Rajni Gupta and suspended the teacher Reena Gupta. An inquiry has also been instituted into the incident.
"Children come to school to study and action will be taken firmly if any staff member makes them do any other work," he said.
There have been several instances where children in government schools are made to sweep the floors, clean toilets and even wash utensils used in midday meals.
