Abstract: Secondary education has the potential to make contributions to economic prosperity of any country. For this, there should be greater investments at this level especially to address the inequalities in access to secondary education by income, age, gender, social class and region. The main challenges of secondary education are to increase participation, improve learning and enhancing relevance. In other words the challenge is to improve access, equity and quality in secondary education. For a quality secondary education various stakeholders are responsible such as principals, teachers, parents, students and policy makers. In this study a questionnaire has been made for the teachers to understand their perspectives of existing scenario of secondary school education in terms of infrastructural facilities, assessment, home environment, school quality and administrative factors. The findings of this study showed that teachers’ perspectives for the parameters mentioned in the tool differ in terms of their gender, age, work experience and type of school they are working. From review of literature, it was observed that young teachers are not satisfied with existing system of secondary school education in terms of infrastructural facilities, curriculum, assessment and administrative arrangement, which needs attention of Government to acknowledge and cultivate the partnership with them to sustain potential teachers and strengthen the quality of education at secondary level.
