Abstract: This study was undertaken to examine the role of Teachers’ Associations as the protector of teachers’ rights. The study is based mainly on the interviews of education experts, researchers and experienced associations’ leaders. The researcher therefore intended to highlight a very important and positive role played by teachers’ associations. These associations are blamed for the present faulty education system and for the lack of co-ordination among various agents of education. Associations and their active leaders at secondary school level in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were chosen as the population of the study. Interviews were conducted with union leaders for the collection of useful data. The core finding of this study suggests that most of teachers’ associations are the protector of teachers’ rights. They solve the problems of teachers. However, they generally support their own members during transfer, promotion and on other occasions of benefits.
