By the 21st century, the education system needs to provide its citizens not only knowledge but also a wide range of skills in facing the challenges of globalization and future career preparation. Today, there are various new pedagogical concepts emerging in addressing educational issues such as heutagogy. A heutagogical approach is an approach that encourages students to acquire their own knowledge. This concept paper aims to identify the readiness of mathematics secondary school teachers using heutagogical approaches in teaching and learning. In line with the main objective of the Malaysia Education Development Plan (PPPM) 2013-2025, a competent teacher is a teacher who can provide effective teaching and learning to his students. Thus, based on the analysis, the teacher's readiness in terms of knowledge, attitudes and behaviors identified as domains that should be given attention by mathematics school teachers in implementing the heutagogical approach. Instead of using chalk and talk, mathematics teacher might use heutagogical apporach to variate their style of teaching. Thus, as a future research, the pattern of secondary school teacher readiness in applying heutagogical approach for teaching and learning should be explore to see how far the implementation in our school system.
