Abstract: The study was conducted in District Toba Tek Singh to find out whether female teachers have to face problems while working in boys' primary schools in the presence of male colleagues. Data were collected from 110 female teachers working in the boys' primary schools of Tehsil Toba Tek Singh using convenient sampling techniques. The female teachers' list is obtained from the education department. The interview and focus group research tools were used to find female teachers' prospects, problems, and challenges while working in boys' primary schools. Mean, percentage and standard deviation were measured. Findings indicated that 70.9% of female teachers have master degrees and 77.3% contain B.Ed. as a professional degree. Only (9.1%) have an M.Phil. degree, and 7.3% of respondents contain a professional degree with M.A Education. Female teachers were satisfied to teach boys except for the issue of male colleague's attitude towards females, cooperation, decision-making power, and administrative dealing with male teachers.
