Main objectives of the study were: to evaluate the overall reaction of teachers after curriculum change and to review the curriculum implementation practices after curriculum change. Survey technique was used to accomplish this descriptive study. Three hundred and sixty teachers of federal Government secondary schools were selected randomly from three regions of Punjab Province i.e. Bahawalpur, Multan and Lahore. For the collection of data, questionnaire on five point likert scale was developed and data was analyzed by using SPSS-17 to analyze the data. First of all, mean score and measure of dispersion (standard deviation) was calculated. Then independent sample t-test was applied on data to calculate difference in views between genders. On the basis of analysis it was concluded that: 1) respondents warmly welcome change, 2) purposeful refresher courses are not arranged, 3) curriculum is formulated by only policy makers while teachers are the missing part of this activity and revise books were not easily available in the market at the start of new academic session.
