The purpose of the study was to examine the discrepancies between the skills acquired and the skills used in the classrooms. 937 head teachers were the population of this study, selected for the primary and Secondary schools of Sindh Provincial. 187 head teachers of Sindh were randomly selected. Five-point Likert Scale was used to get the answers from Heads of school about their teachers in their schools. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the data. According to the mean score, most of the teachers have no planning. The mean score also shows that appropriate teaching methods are not being used by teachers and have no command over the related subject. In addition, teachers do not have the skills to evaluate students’ performance. The conclusion is that skills which teachers acquired in teacher training program B.Ed & M.Ed don’t use in classrooms. Teachers must be assessed by the authorities whether they are using those skills or not? Whether these skills are required in the actual classroom or not?
