Out of 3,78,628 around 80,278, 10th standard government school students in Punjab failed the English examination this year which became a big issue of discussion in the education department.
Agitated with the teachers, Punjab Education Minister Daljeet Singh Cheema has summoned the teachers for the worst performance of the students. The minister was shocked to see the decaying level of English. Addressing the teachers at a gathering, Cheema highlighted that the teachers did not even know correct spellings of several words.
