Abstract

In the study, married students at the College of Education at the Gawu Babangida Study Center in Niger State, Nigeria, are examined in relation to their adjustment to school and their marital conflict. The study was directed by three objectives, research questions, and no hypotheses. The study's methodology was a survey. 408 (200, 300, 400L) married students from the College of Education's Gawu Babangida Study Center made up the study's population. 222 pupils were purposefully chosen as the study's sample from the 408 total students. The study was conducted using a researcher-designed questionnaire called the "marriage crisis and school adjustment scale." To evaluate the hypotheses, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was utilized. According to the study's results, there is a strong correlation between marital crisis and behavioral school adjustment, with a p-value of 0.000 and an r-value of 0.333, respectively. Additionally, this study's results showed that there is no connection between marital crisis and cognitive school adjustment, with r=0.043 and p = 0.243. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended that married couples should practice honesty, tolerance, fairness, and justice in their marriage in order to preserve their cognitive school adjustment
