A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Family, kinship and marriage

The core of the Family, Kinship and Marriage topic is the understanding of how families are structured, the roles of kinship ties, and the various forms of marriage recognised in Nigerian society. Mastery of these concepts is essential for the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams because they form the basis for analysing social change, gender roles, and health behaviours within families.
