Home Management Paper 2, WASSCE (SC), 2019

Candidates' Weakness

 

The candidates’ major weakness was their inability to define, interpret and answer questions correctly. They seemed to have little or no knowledge of the fundamental terms in the subject.

This was obvious in their definition of entrepreneurship, steps in entrepreneurship and types of entrepreneurship skills in question (1)(a)(b) & (c). Candidates further displayed the lack of knowledge in questions (6)(a)(b)&(c)  where they gave series of inadequate explanation on Advertisement, guidelines for comparing prices of goods before purchasing and government agencies that set standard for manufactured goods.

Furthermore, candidates also exhibited their weakness in their poor expression of ideas and myriad of spelling mistakes.
To overcome the above weakness:
-Teachers should 
  - Teach every topic and sub-topic in the syllabus deeply with the use of Examples.
-  revised 3 years scheme of work,

Students should   

- Study hard, prepare for examination,
- Work on their command of English Language,
- Strive to have in depth knowledge of the subject.

 

Parent should      

-   Invest in textbook.
