is study discussed the challenges of e-learning by Chemistry students during the first wave of 2019/2020 COVID-19 lockdown in Nigeria: implications on sustainable STEM education. The study concentrated in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was used to carry out the study. The population sample of the study comprised of 114 Chemistry students (44 males and 70 female) that participated in e-learning during the first wave of 2019/2020 COVID-19 lockdown in Nigeria. Two research questions and one hypothesis were formulated for the study. The instrument used was developed by the researchers known as E-Learning Challenges by Chemistry Students (ECCS) with reliability of .75. The ECCS was distributed by the researchers to the students. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while t-test was used to test the null hypotheses. The findings showed a statistical significance difference between the mean responses of male and female Chemistry students to ECCS in favour of female students. Based on these findings, conclusions and recommendations towards implication on sustainable STEM education were made.
