Video: "She should be suspended; she is a teacher and can’t even read..," Official Say During Inspection 

In a shocking case, an English teacher in a government school from Uttar Pradesh's Unnao district failed to read a few lines of English from a text book. 

This incident came to light after District Magistrate Devendra Kumar Pandey conducted an inspection to assess the ground situation of the state. During the inspection, he asked the teacher to read few lines from the English language text book, where she struggled to read even a sentence properly. 

This inspection took place on November 28. The video shows the poor condition of the education system in India. 

While speaking to media, Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) Pradeep Kumar Pandey said that, "an inspection was done by District Magistrate (DM) Devendra Kumar Pandey, and I was also part of the inspection."

"In classes 6 and 8 when the lessons were asked to be read in Hindi then most students were able to do that. But when the students were made to read in English then most of them failed, and even some teachers failed to do so," Pandey added.  

Further explaining about the situation, Pandey asserted that "the DM asked the teachers that if they themselves could not read in English then how would they teach the students. Now, whatever instructions the DM issues we will act accordingly."
