Based on the observed weaknesses, the Chief Examiners recommended as follows:
- Teachers should attend coordination exercises during marking to learn the current trend in marking;
- Classroom instructions should be backed up with appropriate demonstration;
- Teachers should expose students to more assignments at the end of each lesson ;
- Teachers should upgrade their teaching skills to embrace modern methodology;
- Qualified Physics graduate should be employed by the government;
- Students should be more dedicated to their studies;
- Students should be encouraged to buy Physics textbooks.
