Praveen Toppo, an assistant teacher (LB) at Primary School Machandand Kogwar in the Wadrafnagar block of Balrampur district, Chhattisgarh, has been suspended. Toppo is accused of not knowing the correct English spellings for "Nose," "Ear," and "Eye."

Furthermore, he reportedly did not know the spellings for the days of the week or for "Father," "Mother," "Brother," and "Sister," and was teaching incorrect spellings to the children in class. He had also written them incorrectly on the blackboard. Someone made a video of this, and as soon as the video circulated, the education department launched an investigation. The allegations were found to be true upon investigation, leading to the teacher's suspension.
