Abstract (2. Language): 
The societal and economic changes in the 21st century have increased the need for educational change. Although students are exposed to technology and social media, it does not guarantee their competence in 21st century skills. Teachers are needed to guide students in acquiring these skills to be globally competitive. However, teachers are trained in 20th century classroom practice, thus, it is imperative for them to upgrade themselves to become the 21st century teachers. This study investigated the 21st century skills of teachers especially their knowledge and practices along information, media and technology skills, learning and innovation skills, life and career skills and effective communication skills. This also looks into their challenges and opportunities in terms of resources. Qualitative and quantitative methods were employed in this study. The data were gathered through the use of questionnaires and survey forms, which were described and critically analyzed. The findings of the study revealed that the teachers have fair to good knowledge and practices in the 21st century skills but were challenged in terms of resources.
