However, the video has sparked outrage among social media users, who question the appropriateness of such training in the education system.
Criticism of Song Choice and Training Standards
The video, which has been viewed over 2.5 million times, faced harsh criticism from online users, with many expressing disapproval over the song choice and questioning the standard of education being imparted.

Concern Over Indian Education Standards
The conversation quickly shifted to a broader criticism of the Indian education system. “It’s better to learn phonetics or other important topics for the future,” one commenter stated, while another added, “This is really a sad part… The institute is earning out of this joke. I pity teachers now.”
Many expressed frustration over the apparent commercialization of education, with one user saying, “Teachers are tools of business for school management.”
Uniform Policy Questioned
The video also raised concerns about the treatment of teachers in private schools, with many questioning why they were required to wear uniforms. “Teachers don’t even have the right to dress. They have been given uniforms. Why????” one user asked.
Growing Discontent Over Education Practices
The criticism continued in the comments section, with one user summing up the frustration: “Seriously, it’s our education system. After this, the kid will go home and make a reel on this.” Another user pointed out, “Teachers have special classes only for rhymes also,” highlighting concerns over the content of teacher training programs.
While the song may have gained viral fame for its catchy tune, its role in teacher training has sparked a serious conversation about education standards and the treatment of educators in India.
