Unnao: A teacher and an assistant teacher of a higher secondary school in Unnao have been suspended after they failed to read a paragraph from an English text book during an inspection by the Unnao district magistrate Devendra Pandey on Saturday.
“It was a random inspection at the higher secondary school in Chaura and I asked the students to read out from an English book but they could not. Then I asked the teachers and was shocked to see that even they could not read a word of English,” the district magistrate said.
