Weakness and Remedies

The candidates were generally weak in:

-    all the questions that involve sketching;
-    listing types of lubricants used when sharpening a plane cutter;
-    stating the safety precaution to be taken in a carpentry and joinery workshop;
-    explaining the timber finishing materials.

To overcome these weaknesses:
-   the students should be given a project that involves sketches during their practical activities in the workshop;     
-   theteachers should help the students during their practical’s to list and explain the Lubricants used when sharpening;
-   the schools should make it 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.
