Teachers are role models for their students and considered an asset of any nation's educational system because of their impact on students' personal and intellectual development. The objective of this research is to examine the perspectives of public secondary school teachers in district central Karachi regarding their level of job satisfaction through a simple survey technique. 120 secondary school teachers, including 50 male and 70 female teachers, were selected using simple random sampling. In terms of frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations, the data were analyzed using descriptive technique. The results revealed that at the secondary level, teachers were found to be extremely motivated and satisfied for their teaching practices. However, they required a higher level of job satisfaction regarding advantages and benefits, followed by working conditions and physical facilities.
