Candidates' Weaknesses

Some of the weaknesses observed in the candidates’ scripts were:

-           Insufficient knowledge of the subject matter as the candidates could not satisfactorily attempt question on stock control and the importance of stock control.
-           Poorly use of English Language as most candidates could not explain their points in clear and correct English Grammar.
-           Almost all the candidates avoided question five (5) which was on stock                                                       control system and stock record system. Those who attempted it performed      poorly in the question. The reason might be because the topic is one of those on emerging issues in modern store management.

SUGGESTED REMEDIES

1. The candidates should learn the use of English grammar to enable them express their points clearly and correctly.
2. Government should endeavour to recruit and train qualified teachers with qualification in Business Education as this is a new subject.

1. Teachers should thoroughly teach the candidates the aspect of stock control and stock record system.
2. Candidates should study standard text books as recommended by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) in preparing for the examination rather than answering questions with residual knowledge.
