A teacher at a school in China who was shown in a viral video scrubbing make-up from girls' faces with a wet towel when they arrived for the new semester told them, "A student should look like she is supposed to."
The teacher at a secondary school in Guizhou province cleaned girls' faces with the same towel - dipping it in a bucket of water, wringing it and then wiping the next student's face, Jiangsu Television reported.
"About 80% of students here are left-behind children," a school representative told reporters. "Due to the absence of parents' company and education, they may be led into extreme directions in aesthetics and life values.
"A big group of students were lured by one student to wear make-up. It's a common and serious phenomenon on campus," he said.
The representative admitted it was "not appropriate" for staff to remove students' make-up by force, but the school was determined to "show its responsibility for the students".
The school had tried to ban students from wearing heavy make-up many times, but they ignored the order.
The representative said that after the incident, fewer students wore cosmetics.
The video met with many different comments on Weibo.
"A towel and a bucket of water for all students? That's too unsanitary," wrote one user. "What the teacher did hurts students' dignity, and the school should reflect on whether it's good for students to do this in public".
"I think it's reasonable to forbid students from having make-up", another wrote.
