Abstract
The study aimed at exploring the level of tolerance of students and their teachers towards certain social and
religious factors i.e. gender, ethnicity, caste, religion and religious sects. Tolerance was defined as low level
of biasness towards these factors. A questionnaire was developed by the researchers based on above
mentioned sub factors. The data was collected from eleven schools in Lahore and Gujrat Districts. Sample
comprised of 742 students (349 female; 375 male) of 9th and 10
th grade and 71 teachers (29 male; 42
female) teaching these classes. The level of tolerance was examined by analyzing the data regarding the
relationship between (i) level of students’ tolerance and their teachers’ tolerance level; (ii) students’ and
teachers’ gender, caste and locale. Findings suggest that majority of participants fall below the tolerant
category i.e X. < 178-182. However; teachers were found less tolerant than students. Gender, locality, caste
and age were not influential factors in determining the level of tolerance.
