C for Chor, 'Cha se Chacha Nehru Choron ke Pradhan Mantri The'! Watch Shocking Video from Jharkhand Government School
The video can be considered as a prime example of the substandard education system in the country.
The role of a teacher in building a student's life is considered extremely important in every society. However, the quality of education and efficiency of some teachers in the country does not seem to promise it. In what can be considered as a prime example of the substandard education system in the country, a teacher in Jharkhand was seen teaching utterly disgraceful things to his students. The video shows students sitting under a tree repeating English and Hindi alphabets after the teacher.
The teacher of a government school in Udburu village goes on to call Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as a PM of thieves in Hindi making the children repeat it. He explains alphabets to his students as "'Cha' se 'chor' and 'cha' se 'Chacha Nehru Choron Ke Pradhan Mantri The' (Chacha Nehru was the prime minister of thieves)'." He also reads from the blackboard, "'Gh' se 'Ghanti' (bell) and 'Gh' for 'Ghanti bajane wala budbak (foolish) Brahmin'."
While we are used to hearing A for Apple, B for bat and C for cat, this teacher explains it as "A for Adivasi (tribal people), B for Bideshi (foreigner), C for Chhotanagpur and D for Dharti (Earth)." The students are at a young age taught futile things which may get ingrained in them. Not only are they out of the syllabus but bootles words and phrases that can be held objectionable.
According to Zee News, officials of the education department did not know about such education being imparted to students.

Northern states like Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar are infamous for the poor education system. More than 70 students and teachers were booked for cheating during Uttar Pradesh Board Examinations for classes 10 and 12 in 2016. Nearly 1,000 students were expelled for cheating during the Class 12 examinations in Bihar.
Bihar Board's Class XII 2016 arts topper Ruby Ray was exposed after it was found that she did not even know the subjects for which she appeared. Ray's calling Political Science as Prodigal Science and being absolutely clueless had kickstarted a debate about the sad state of education and qualification of teachers.
