abstract={This study aims to investigate the JSS teachers¡¯ knowledge and skill and to strengthen STWG to solve the teachers¡¯problems in implementing 2013 curriculum. Using document analysis, focus group discussion and in-depth interviews, research found out that the quality of teachers is still below the average of the government achievement target. The study also revealed that JSS teachers find difficult to describe students¡¯ learning achievement qualitatively. To strengthen teachers¡¯ competence and skill, it is needed to empower JSS STWG roles to share and discuss the implementation of the 2013 curriculum at their class through better teaching and learning instruction.},
