Abstract	Quality Education is the bedrock foundation of primary level of educational pyramid. It helps not only in the development of individuals but also improve their living standard at academic and professional domains. Government of Punjab has initiated a literacy and numeracy drive movement to enhance the literacy rate. English is the major focus of concern in Literacy and Numeracy drive (LND). Present study has been conducted to study the attitudes, instructional practices and difficulties faced by the English primary teachers while teaching English through quality drive. The study was descriptive in nature based on the mixed method i.e. quantitative and qualitative approach. It was conducted in the rural and urban schools of the elementary wing of tehsil Khanpur district Rahimyar Khan. The results reflected that teachers showed positive behavior towards teaching English through LND. But they faced many problems like unhealthy environment, lack of facilities, influence of mother tongue, non cooperative behavior of parents and lack of interest in learning English. The weak base of grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, spellings and comprehension are also the basic problems. It showed that traditional method is in common practice for teaching English language. The study recommends improvement in the mechanism of literacy and numeracy drive to produce better outcomes of English teaching. (As Provided).
