General Weakness
- Candidates showed weakness in questions 3, 4b, 5b and 8.
- Poor preparation for the examination. This was observed in candidates’ poor responses to questions, showing inadequate knowledge of the subject.
- Insufficient knowledge of the subject, as a result they could not satisfactorily attempt application questions.
- Few candidates attempted question 8 and the performance was very poor.
SUGGESTED REMEDIES
(i) Candidates should be encouraged to study standard and comprehensive textbooks in their preparation for the examination rather than relying on key-points.
(iii) Candidates should cover every part of the syllabus while preparing for the examination.
(iv) Government should endeavour to recruit qualified Business Education graduates to teach the subject.
