This study examines students' perceptions of quality teaching at affiliated colleges of the University of Education Lahore, focusing on various dimensions such as subject matter knowledge, student growth and development, instructional planning and strategies, assessment techniques, and learning environments. Employing a post-positivist paradigm, the research utilizes a quantitative approach with data collected from 600 students via a structured questionnaire. The analysis reveals significant satisfaction among students regarding teachers' updated course material, effective communication, and enthusiasm. However, areas needing improvement include teachers' command over subjects, recognition of individual differences, fairness in grading, classroom management skills, and maintaining conducive learning environments. The study underscores the critical role of quality teaching in higher education and provides recommendations for enhancing teaching practices and institutional support, aiming to foster an effective learning environment in Pakistan's tertiary education sector.
