The aim of this research is to look at the link between teachers’ leadership competency with 21st-century teachers teaching skills during COVID-19. A 21st-century teacher must be proficient in employing a form of technology tools to unravel problems, make informed decisions and generate new knowledge. The quantitative approach has been applied in this study to examine the significant relationship of teachers’ leadership competency with 21st-century teacher teaching skills during COVID-19 at secondary schools. A survey was used by the researcher to collect the data. Frequency distributions, descriptive statistics and correlations were used to analyze the findings. The cluster random sampling type in probability sampling was used for this study because only one district of five secondary schools was selected. This study participated in only 50 teachers from various subjects and positions to examine the significance relationship.
