The present study aims to examine the quality of work life (QWL) of teachers with reference to gender differences. Teachers’ work life quality plays an important role in their performance, satisfaction, and effectiveness in the classroom. The study focuses on comparing male and female teachers working in public and private schools. A descriptive survey method was adopted, and data were collected from 600 secondary school teachers using a standardized Quality of Work Life scale. Statistical techniques such as mean, standard deviation, and independent sample t-test were used for analysis. The results revealed a significant difference in the quality of work life between male and female teachers. Female teachers were found to have relatively higher QWL scores. The findings highlight the importance of improving working conditions and adopting gender-sensitive policies in educational institutions.The study contributes to existing literature by providing a gender-based empirical comparison of teachers’ quality of work life
