The notion of quality is rather new in the arena of developing countries like Pakistan. In Pakistan, this notion was introduced quite after the establishment of HEC in 2002 during the Musharraf regime. The 21st century is the century of economic development. The objective of each nation is to achieve sustainable, social and economic development that is only being achieved through the quality education. The quality in education comes through the quality of teacher education. Unfortunately the quality of teacher education in Pakistan as per numerous reports is deteriorating.

This paper presents findings of the study designed to investigate the quality management level (QML) of the six Pakistani institutions of teacher education. The study was delimited to only Punjab province. These six institutions were the constituent campuses of the University of Education in the said province .To arrive at findings, the opinions of all the directors/Principals and ninety six (96) teachers including male and female of these campuses regarding quality management were surveyed through questionnaires that were prepared as per quality management principles for leadership and for teachers given by the Dr. W. Edward Deming and Dr. Joseph M Juran, known as the father of quality management.

The data were analyzed by applying descriptive as well as inferential statistics. Parts from these questionnaires, demographic information about these institutions were also interpreted in a graphic form by using a simple checklist type questionnaire. The results revealed the poor infrastructure and quality management level of these institutions. There was no significance difference between the quality management level of the sample from upper Punjab and the sample from lower/southern Punjab .In short the quality management level of these institutions of teacher education remained very low. The paper suggests adopting the quality management principles to all the Directors and teachers of these institutions of teacher education; particularly their training in this connection is inevitable.
