Teacher quality is a key factor in the success of education, especially in facing the challenges of 21st-century learning, which demands digital literacy, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and effective communication. This study aims to systematically review the literature related to improving teacher quality within this context. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of ten selected articles published between 2018 and 2023, sourced from Google Scholar based on scientific credibility and relevance. The review findings indicate that improving teacher quality involves mastery of educational technology, pedagogical competence, reflective thinking skills, and strong professional character. In addition, continuous training, learning communities, and adaptive educational policies also play a significant role in preparing teachers for changing times. Therefore, a comprehensive, sustainable, and needs-based strategy is essential to enhance teacher quality and support educators in adapting and innovating in the teaching and learning process.Kualitas guru merupakan kunci keberhasilan pendidikan, terutama dalam menghadapi tantangan abad ke-21 yang menuntut literasi digital, berpikir kritis, kreativitas, kolaborasi, dan komunikasi efektif.
