Teachers play an important role in ensuring the effectiveness of STEM education implementation at the school level. This study aims to identify to the level of teachers' readiness to implement STEM. This study is a quantitative study utilising a survey design and using a questionnaire instrument. The sample consists of 58 primary school science and mathematics teachers around Petaling Utama, Selangor. Descriptive analysis and Pearson Correlation analysis were used to test the research questions using Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. The findings show that there is a significant positive relationship between the readiness of teachers to implement STEM education with the level of knowledge and attitude of teachers on STEM education. However, there is no relationship between teacher willingness and teaching experience. Implication from this frinding is the school administrators able to evaluate the teachers' proficiency through the teachers' readiness and develop an appopriate strategy. With the strengthening of STEM skills and knowledge, teachers' attitudes and confidence in STEM implementation will be more positive. This study can provide awareness to science teachers to achieve the STEM curriculum's knowledge and understanding standards. In conclusion, teachers equipped with higher knowledge and attitude towards STEM education will make them better prepared for STEM education. Courses or training should be provided continuously to science and mathematics teachers to ensure that they are always exposed to new knowledge and positive attitudes towards STEM education.
