The major weakness was identified as lack of exposure and good grasp of the content of the subject. Some of the candidates did not read the questions carefully enough. Key words are often missed, with candidates seemingly answering the question they would like to answer rather than the actual question on the examination paper.

    Suggested Remedies

It was suggested that, to correct these weaknesses:

• efforts should be made to ensure that qualified teachers teach the subject.
• the subject is adequately funded so that the practical application and implication of the subject are made known to the candidates.
