Candidates' Weakness
The following reasons contributed to some inadequacies observed in the performance of the candidates:
- Spelling errors
- Ambiguous responses to some questions
- Poor descriptive ability
- Inability to define terms accurately
- Lack of understanding of some basic business terms
- Inability to differentiate between materials and tools
The suggested remedies were as follows:
- All areas of the syllabus should be adequately taught by the teachers
- More practical work is encouraged in schools;
- Candidates should observe their industrial attachment scheme as recommended in the syllabus;
- The need for Government and other stake holders to make available relevant resource materials and textbooks.
- Qualified and well trained personnel should be recruited to teach the students
