This study aims to determine the degree of teachers' readiness to implement 21st century learning based on their perceptions of implementation constraints or challenges and teachers' suggestions to improve implementation in a primary school in the Klang district of the State of Selangor. To collect the data for this mixed-mode study, a questionnaire in the form of a Google Form and a semi-structured interview were undertaken. The 49 teachers from the chosen school served as samples. Data from the questionnaire was evaluated using MS Excel 2010 to do descriptive analysis and statistical inference, while data from the interview was assessed using coding and themes. The results of this study indicated that teachers' levels of knowledge, aptitude, and attitude were average. The results of this study also pointed to several limitations and difficulties in putting 21st century learning into practice in the classroom. Additionally, it makes several recommendations to improve how successfully 21st century learning is implemented in the classroom.
