The study aimed to assess how teachers adapt to digital skills for sustainable development in education. This study involved 10 teachers from various departments with pre- and post-interviews to evaluate their adaptation levels using qualitative methods. A tool with three open-ended questions was developed and its validity and reliability were confirmed. The findings revealed that teachers require significant improvement in digital skills to enhance their teaching, stressing the importance of offering updated training programs that integrate digitalization into education. Some teachers showed low adaptation to digital skills due to limited awareness and unfamiliarity with digital tools. The study highlights the need for ongoing professional development to address gaps in digital competence and support the integration of digital tools in teaching. Practical recommendations include in-service teacher training focused on digital applications, equipping institutions with necessary technological resources and fostering an environment conducive to digital integration. Addressing these needs will help teachers adapt better to digital practices, ultimately improving education quality and aligning with sustainable development goals.  This study emphasizes the importance of aligning educational practices with global trends toward digital transformation and sustainable development by enhancing teachers' digital competence.
