My four year old son has been going to school since the last two years but he has not learnt even to hold a pencil. His teacher and we, his parents have tried upteen times but he does not seem to learn. His age group friend have started learning 3 letter words but he is still learning standing and sleeping lines.

Dear, I can understand your concerns. Is there a history of delayed milestone development? Did he start late to walk? At what age did he started babbling, talking? We need to consider if the problem is specific to learning or it is global. If there is any intellectual disability, a timely training and intervention can help improving the functioning. However, it requires a detailed history work up to establish a condition or diagnosis.
Next Steps
Seriously consider to consult a psychiatrist.
