The Pre-University (PU) stage of education is significant for students as it is the connecting bridge between school and professional life. Therefore, this stage must instill the essential skills within students which will facilitate the students to pursue higher education or apply for the field of work. To achieve the development of students with the required skills to be independent and skilled, it is imperative for the teacher to use teaching skills in the precise manner. Teaching skills is the vital link necessary to translate the teachers’ theoretical knowledge to the students thereby promoting effective learning by the students. This study focuses on the missing and much needed teaching skills which are deemed important for a Pre-University teacher of the 21^st century. The researchers also suggest a great demand and necessity for training Pre-University teachers to enhance their teaching skills required for the successful development of the 21^st century learners.
