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. Intrafamily 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.
