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.
