This study was focused on the Teachers Education Programs in Afghanistan and Pakistan and Prospects of Collaboration between the Two Countries. It examined the impact of teachers education programs on the efficiency of teachers in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Heads, Teachers and students were taken as study sample through convenient sampling techniques. The study sample was including 600 trainee students i.e. 300 male and 300 female students, 60 teachers- 30 male and 30 female and 12 heads of institutions. From each institution 50 students, 5 teachers and one head were selected for data collection. The majority of the study population were not satisfied with the training, program, educational policy and plan in both countries. The study further provided, that Afghanistan is lacking Teachers Education Programs like B.Ed., M.Ed. and Higher Degrees Programs.
