Carpentry And Joinery (Paper 2) WASSCE (SC), 2018

Weakness and Remedies

 

The candidates were generally weak in:

-           all the questions that involve sketching;
-           listing portable power tools for a specific operation;
-           stating the reasons for constructing joints.

To overcome these weaknesses:

            -           the students should be given a project that involves sketches during their practical
activities in the workshop;     
-           the teachers should help the students during their practical’s to explain the
specific use of all the portable power tools;
-           the schools should make compulsory for the students offering carpentry and
joinery to go for at least two month industrial attachments before graduation;
-           the school should allow their students to go out for excursion to nearby technical
colleges and carpentry workshops  at least twice in a month; 
-           assignment with sketches should be given to the students at least twice a week.
