The worrying list of incidents in which educators in China physically assault students just got longer after a primary school teacher carried out a violent and prolonged assault on two of her pupils.
The unnamed former Primary Six maths teacher at Jinquan Primary School in Hunan province, central China, was filmed by another teacher as she carried out the outrageous attacks.
She was caught on camera banging a girl’s head on a desk and then punching a boy’s face in a teacher’s office on February 28.
The teacher has since been suspended and police are investigating, Great Wall New Media reported.
In a viral video, she is seen yelling at and assaulting the girl.

She begins by pinching her face, pulling her hair back and banging her head on the desk. When the boy approaches the teacher, she grabs his face and hurls a textbook at him.
“You do the maths, you do the maths,” the teacher screeches, and punches the girl.
The girl is silent and keeps her head down as the teacher continuously bangs it on the desk. When the girl stands up, the teacher shoves her away using considerable force.
“You tell me. Are you blind? I will beat you to death,” the hysterical teacher shouts at her.
The girl remains silent, so the teacher persists in asking her for the answer to an arithmetic question: “What exactly is it?” she screams.
As the shocking violence continues, the teacher is filmed scratching the girl’s face so hard she almost falls over.
The teacher then shifts her attention to the boy who passes his homework to her. Meanwhile, the girl is looking at her book, when suddenly, the teacher slaps her head with it. The girl is visibly shaken.
After glancing at his homework, the teacher turns to lecture the boy, punches his face, and throws the girl’s homework at him. Silently, the girl turns to pick it up.
The shocking video has been widely circulated online, resulting in a probe by the Education Bureau, and the suspension of the teacher.

At the time of writing, the video had attracted 200,000 comments on Douyin, with many people online expressing outrage.
“Oh my god, it’s too horrible,” said one.
“Why isn’t anyone in the office trying to stop the cruel teacher?” asked another.
Incidents of teachers physically assaulting students are on the rise in China.
In late 2023, a primary school teacher was suspended because she told girls who had been caught eating in class to slap themselves. She also ordered the boys in the class to smack the girls if they did not hit themselves hard enough.
Last July, it was discovered a private school teacher had been abusing students for years, and forcing them to slap, spit on and humiliate each other.
Also in that month, footage from a surveillance camera that showed another teacher at a school in northern China punishing students with physical violence went viral on mainland social media.
