Participants included 45 professors, associate professors, and PhDs in physical education at institutions of physical training and sports; 500 teachers and 100 employers and managers from lower-secondary schools in the Northern Midlands. Based on literature synthesis, an interview, and a reliability test of items in the research scale using Cronbach’s Alpha, the study identified 19 criteria for evaluating the quality of physical education teachers at lower-secondary schools in the Northern Midlands. The criteria were divided into three clusters: (1) Knowledge: 5 criteria; (2) Skills: 10 criteria; (3) Attitudes: 4 criteria. Results of the evaluation on the quality of physical education teachers at lower-secondary schools in the Northern Midlands showed that 08/19 of the criteria were deemed "Good", 05/19 were deemed "Rather", and 06 of them were deemed "Average".
