AB  - The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of family life education on adolescent academic

from each of the four coeducational schools in Bida education Zone of Niger state through purposive sampling.
The instrument used for the study was a cognitive achievement test. This achievement test was used for pretest
and posttest. Two lesson plans and marking guide were developed for the study. Standardized test items were
used. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the research questions, while Analysis of Covariance

taught reproductive health issues using family life education performed higher than those taught using
conventional approach. Secondly male and female adolescents benefited equally from training using family life
