Different strategies for differentiated instructions are available, but there is not much evidence showing differentiated instructions supported by School Leaders against the Standardized curriculum, especially in the Asian region, through the lens of educational leaders. Public and private schools have students from different backgrounds and learning abilities. Therefore, the teachers are expected to use different levels of instruction for them; however, what role leaders play in facilitating the diverse needs of learners is still needed to explore in the context of Pakistan. Methodology: The purpose of this research is to explore the perception and practices of School Leaders regarding differentiated instructions at the primary level. A qualitative research approach has been adopted, and semi-structured interviews were designed for data collection. Findings: The study has highlighted the challenges and concerns faced by School Leaders in guiding teachers to tailor classroom instructions in order to meet the individuals' needs with reference to the differentiated instructions while implementing a standardized curriculum. The study found that emphasizing the role of teachers' professional development in implementing the concept of differentiated instructions within the classrooms is to be understood and implemented. Moreover, educational leaders have been recommended to must add professional development to their major preferences when training and assigning new tutors to their institutions. Conclusion: The school leaders should offer a differentiated instruction setting to the teachers as well in order to meet their diverse requirements, as teachers can also be diverse learners who demand distinct tactics and styles to get trained.
