Abstract: The National Education Policy 2020 emphasizes universal access to high-quality education as a method of advancing national development. India's leadership in scientific advancement will be crucial as it rises to prominence in the world scene. The study of science has evolved substantially in the 21st century and scientific education has become increasingly important. Science has advanced to the point that, it is projected that about 90% of the job field will be science-based. The educational objectives of NEP 2020 must be met by preparing students to be objective, inquiry-driven, critical thinkers, and problem solvers who can successfully navigate future obstacles. Consequently, science education needs to have a firm basis based on sound scientific ideas. Even though science education has become more popular in Nagaland, there are still a lot of shortcomings that need to be properly and methodically exposed. In order to achieve the educational objectives, this article discusses the status of science education in Nagaland at the secondary level, as well as the challenges that teachers face in the process of teaching. Additionally, the study will offer recommendations for resolving such issues.
