A study was conducted with an objective to find out the attitude towards science among secondary school students with regard to the geographical area and their parental educational qualification. The study was conducted with a sample of 367 students from rural and urban secondary schools within Aizawl district, Mizoram. The tool used was Attitude Towards Science Scale (ATSS) developed by Dr. Anuradha Agnihotri, Lecturer, Dev Samaj College of Education, Chandigarh in 2009. The findings of the study showed that there is no difference in the attitude towards science between rural and urban secondary school students. The result of the study also showed that the educational qualification of their father and mother does not have a significant impact on the secondary school student’s attitude towards science. It was concluded that proper teaching approach on science subject must be adopted both in rural and urban secondary schools. It was observed from the result that students having parents with higher educational qualification possess a more positive attitude towards science than students having parents with lower educational qualification even though the difference is not significant. Therefore, special emphasis and steps may be taken by teachers, parents and society to motivate students in developing scientific and positive attitude towards science as most of the secondary school student’s attitude towards science is low in the present study.
