Analysis of different educational systems around the world at macro and micro level inform us that efforts made to bring reforms and improve quality of education is fundamentally linked with the quality of its teachers. Pakistani system of education is no exception therefore to improve the quality of education attention should be paid to the quality of our teachers. In this era of rapid global changes education is highly subjected to these changes, at the same time it is also the cause of change in all other spheres of life. In comparison with world’s top performing educational systems we find Pakistani educational system far behind in quality and students’ performance. Although efforts are made to improve the current situation but in general the situation has hardly improved. No doubt extensive, consistence and tested models of teachers’ professional development can produce better result, but replication of such models would be difficult in Pakistan where resources allocated for education are comparatively limited. This paper also highlights very concisely the future needs of teachers’ professional development in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan) to make our public education compatible and enhance students’ learning. This paper also suggest the integrated role of state, society and teachers’ community to make sincere, serious and systematic efforts to improve the existing situation and shoulder the future needs of teachers professional development.
