Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to throw light on the current context of teachers and
teaching in Pakistan and to suggest further line of research on teaching and teachers in the
country. Design: This paper is based on the review of different papers and articles available
in different journals; and downloaded from internet and also on the daily experiences of mine
which I face as a teacher and a teacher trainer. Findings: The review shows that teaching is a
profession by default or an additional source of income. Male members only opt this
profession because they could find any other job or adopt it for surplus income. Mostly the
teachers are with low qualifications. Teaching is only the transmission of knowledge.
Practical Implications: Future directions for the future exploration in this area of study are
suggested. Originality: This paper is an attempt to know about the life of the teachers in
developing countries, like Pakistan.
