This study explores the impact of automatic promotion policy in primary schools on the quality of education by employing qualitative method of research. The basic aim of this study was to determine the effect of this policy on the quality of primary education in accordance with the teachers’ perceptions. The qualitative data was collected through a selected sample of teachers (N=42) teaching at primary level in the public primary and elementary schools of Rawalpindi city. Semi-structured, open- ended interviews were conducted with teachers during school hours. The findings of the study revealed that majority of the teachers did not consider automatic promotion policy as an effective educational practice. Moreover, it was discovered that the government do not arrange orientation programs for teachers before initiating any new policy. The teachers are just compelled to implement official orders. The participants proposed some useful reform measures for improvement of the quality of primary education and increase the efficiency of automatic promotion policy which in turn can be helpful in achieving the target of universal primary education (MDG-2).
