Unnao (Uttar Pradesh): An English teacher in a government-run school in Sikandarpur Sarausi was dismissed by the District Magistrate after she failed to read a paragraph from the textbook during a classroom inspection on Thursday.

In the video, the district magistrate, seated on a bench near a student, told the English teacher to read a paragraph from a chapter in the textbook. When she failed to do so, he was heard saying that the teacher should be suspended. He further asks her, "She is a teacher, she can’t read English! Did you complete your BA? Did you complete your BTC (basic teaching certificate) course? You are not illiterate?"
