Teacher education plays a crucial role in preparing future teachers. The quality of teachers is
directly linked with the quality of the pre-service teacher education and training. This study aimed
to measure the factors affecting pre-service teacher education in Punjab. The findings of this study
would help strengthen the quality of pre-service teacher education. The sample was comprised of
400 elementary school teachers in Punjab. This study was based on the Pre-service Teacher
Education (PTE) framework (Zeki et al., 2019). The study adopted a quantitative research
approach. The descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and path analysis were conducted for the
data analysis. The AMOS 20.0 software was used for the testing of the pre-service teacher
education model through Structural Equation Modeling. Results revealed that pre-service
elementary teacher education needs to reconsider the overall teacher education program at the
general level, curriculum, teaching practice, teacher proficiency, the relevance of theory, and
teacher's preparedness. Future studies can be conducted to develop a strategic plan for the
improvement of pre-service teacher education.
