A government school teacher in Andhra Pradesh’s East Godavari district has been suspended after a video surfaced showing her allegedly forcing students to clean her car on the school premises. The incident occurred at an upper primary school in Venkatapuram village, Rangampeta mandal, reported The Hindu. The video, which quickly went viral on social media, led to widespread criticism, prompting the education department to take immediate action.

In an official statement dated February 1, East Godavari District Collector P. Prasanthi confirmed that MPUP School Assistant (English), D. Susheela, had engaged students in personal tasks, violating the AP Civil Services Conduct Rules, 1964, reported Hans India. Following a preliminary inquiry, she was placed under suspension until further notice.

Taking to X, YSRCP said, "A teacher at a government school in Rangampeta mandal of East Godavari district got the car cleaned by female students. Government schools have been completely out of order for 7 months.. Teachers are making students wash toilets, etc. Are these the reforms you brought in government schools as the Minister of Education @naralokesh?"

This comes just days after a similar controversy in Telangana’s Sangareddy district, where three teachers from the Mandal Parishad Primary School in APHB Colony allegedly made students remove gravel from the school premises. That incident, which occurred last Friday, also sparked outrage after videos went viral, prompting swift disciplinary action.

Authorities have reiterated that strict measures will be taken against teachers violating ethical guidelines to ensure a safe and proper learning environment for students.
