For the purpose to achieve the objective all Girl's Secondary School Teachers (SSTs) and students of grades 9th and 10th in District Swabi were selected as the population of the study. A sample size of 164 SSTs and 373 students of grades 9th and 10th were selected through a convenient sampling technique. Two separate questionnaires one for students and one for teachers were developed based on the previous literature. The data were collected by the researcher after trial testing and validity and reliability were tested. Collected data were analyzed by Mean, Standard Deviation. The results of data collected from teachers showed that teachers have a dynamic and strong role in the character-building of students; on the other hand, the students also agreed with the statement. Based on the findings it was recommended that government should take serious steps for the involvement of teachers in character building of students through pre-service and in-service training, workshops, and refresher courses.
