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.enTeachersContext and TeachingCurrent ContextArticle
