Mastering 4Cs skills which consist of critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity has become an important agenda in 21st century learning and education based on 4.0 revolutions. Therefore, this study was carried out to identify level of practice of fostering 4Cs skills in teaching and learning. This study was implemented on 84 teachers as they answered the questionnaire provided. According to descriptive analysis which applied calculation of mean and standard deviation, respondents were found to state agreement at high level in average on three of the 4Cs skills namely critical thinking (Min = 3.56), collaboration (Min = 4.02) and creativity (3.72) while moderate level on communication skill (Min = 3.25). The findings show that it is necessary to put great effort on teaching and learning in order to ensure the process of fostering 4Cs skills can happen optimally so that pupils will be able to master the skills effectively.
