This study was intended to determine the practices of quality management adopted by the administrators of the teacher training institutions in Punjab Pakistan. The study was delimited to thirty (30) GCETs and ten (10) campuses of the education university out of which 40 Principals and 60 teachers were selected by using Simple Random Sampling (SRS) technique. A five point rating scale was developed keeping in view the Juran and Demings’ Quality management frame work for the leaders and administrators. The same questionnaire was administered to the Teachers to cross check the opinions of the Principals for authenticity of the results. The collected data were analyzed by applying inferential as well as descriptive statistics. The results revealed the poor practices of quality management adopted by the administrators in these institutions. The paper suggests providing a special training to all the Principals regarding quality management and the inclusion of a new subject entitled “Managing Quality in Teacher Education” in all the teacher training programs.
