Abstract: Quality education is the birthright of every individual and this can only be possible when our teachers are adequately aware of and equipped with the National Professional Standards for Teachers. The current qualitative multiple case study explores this phenomenon by using purposive sampling technique with four cases (from rural and urban districts) alongwith eight teachers from each compulsory subject i.e. (English, Urdu, Islamiat and Pakistan Studies) as well as the EDOs and CEOs of both districts. All research requisites were duly fulfilled such as improvement and validation of instrument; triangulation of data etc. The results revealed that some teachers practiced those standards unknowingly while others knew a little but were curious to get themselves professionally improved. This study recommends that there is a dire need for raising awareness among teachers and education managers. The government should enhance the quality of education through teacher appraisal and evaluation.
