SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF SCHOOL TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES ON EDUCATIONAL IMPROVEMENT AT THE PRIMARY LEVEL IN BALOCHISTAN

Abstract

            This study investigates the perceptions of school teachers on educational improvement at the primary level in Balochistan, Pakistan. Using a cross-sectional quantitative design, data were collected in 2023 from 100 school teachers in Quetta through structured questionnaires. The findings indicate that teachers identify outdated curricula, lack of teaching resources, insufficient professional training, and poor school infrastructure as the primary impediments to effective teaching and learning. Based on these insights, the study suggests targeted policy reforms including curriculum revision, enhanced teacher training, and better infrastructure to improve the quality of primary education in the region.
