This phenomenon is worrying as the excellent teacher quality needs to exceed 70 percent to meet the challenges of 21st century education. This current study is a quantitative study involving 423 secondary school teachers throughout Malaysia. Data collection is carried out using the questionnaire method based on the Malaysian Teacher Standard (SGM). The findings showed that the quality of teachers in Malaysia is excellent.
