Data were collected through two questionnaires, filled by teachers and their students.

An observation conducted for twenty eight classrooms to investigate the practices of teachers in classroom. The statistical techniques as chi square, Cramer’s V value and percentage were applied for data analysis by using SPSS (Version20). Major findings of study indicated that though the teachers were aware of NPSTP to some extent but they were not practicing these standards in their classrooms efficiently. It was suggested that the teachers should be trained according to the National Professional Standards for Teachers in Pakistan.
