The concept of classroom has also undergone a transition from the restricted periphery of to the open classroom concept. The
teaching and its requirements are also under transition beyond the aspired roles like counselor, investigator, planner, activator
and manager of resources and developer of curriculum etc. The student coming to school has never been an empty vessel but
has been found to be well knowledge conversant. He knows resources and process of locating these resources in such a
condition teacher has to be well informed and in a position to guide support and select the relevant information out of
available. This responsibility can best be discharged if the teacher understands the statutes and student orientation about the
context situations and environment. This calls for exposure of teacher to the school experience. In view of the foresight it
becomes imperative to know the concept of school experience, its practices and implication as a consequence thereof. The
survey to this effect was undertaken stretched over 30 high schools of District Peshawar. A questioner was developed for the
conduct of survey comprising 25 items relating to the attributes supposed to be instilled by the school experience program.
The school experience program may take place during pre-service education and the in-service training. Data obtained
through the conduct of survey was analyzed through the use of descriptive statistic. It was found that majority of teachers
have not received training of SEP and they are not using it in their profession. Conceptual and practical training of SEP in
teacher education institutions is recommended on the basis for findings.
