Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between family conflict and adolescents’ educational success, positing that
effective conflict resolution strategies and extension education initiatives can serve as critical interventions. Intra
family conflict is a pervasive issue that significantly impacts adolescents' academic performance, contributing to
emotional distress, reduced motivation, and hindered learning outcomes. Thus, the foundation of this paper is on the
idea that intra-family conflict negatively affects adolescents' academic performance. However, effective conflict
resolution strategies and extension education can serve as important interventions to mitigate these negative effects
by fostering healthier family dynamics and creating supportive environments for adolescents' learning and emotional
well-being. To fulfil the objective of this paper, it is structured as follows: after the introduction, an explanation of the
concept of intra-family conflict, adolescents’ academic performance, conflict resolution, and extension education are
provided. This paper then discusses the impact of intra-family conflict on teenage academic achievement, as well as
conflict resolution as a solution. Also, it highlights how extension education could serve as a remedy to intra-family
conflict. This paper recommends that schools and community organisations should incorporate conflict resolution
training into curricula, offering workshops on communication, parenting, and conflict management to strengthen
family relationships and support academic performance. Parental involvement in education is crucial for healthy
family dynamics.
