A recent Tiktok video of student running with a metal structure around them has gone viral all-over social media. The reason behind the viral factor is not something scandalous or negative, calm down, it is because of a dedicated and compassionate Special Ed teacher named Cikgu Azam.
Cikgu Azam works with kids who have sight problems such as blind or visually impaired students. The metal structure he built is actually and innovative running aid for his students. He built it so that they can run freely without the fear of falling down.
The video displays a young and brave student of his who joined a group marathon with his running aid. The video now has over 300 000 views and 40.7k likes.
Based on the video he posted, we can see that the running aid is actually like a walker but with wheels and it requires two people to operate.
The front part has a frame for the students to hold on to and a frame around their legs to prevent them from running into things. The back part looks like a trolley with a handlebar for Cikgu Azam or other students to steer the running aid.
Cikgu Azam originally built the running aid for one of his students Alisya who is visually impaired. The original version was a little bulkier and had less leg room. Even so, his student Alisya was delighted to finally be able to run without needing to hold on to his shirt or be tied with a rope.
It is truly amazing and heartwarming to see a teacher like Cikgu Azam. He cares about his students and tries his best to make their lives easier and funner.
