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 explanation on how acquiring Home Management skill can be of benefit to the following areas: (family health, clothing, feeding, maintenance, relationship), prepared a monthly budget for a family of three on a salary of 80,000 naira/dalasi, which is in question (3)(a)(b)(c)(d) & (e) and (4).

Candidates further displayed the lack of knowledge in questions (5)(a)(b)&(c) where they gave series of inadequate explanation on family crises, types of family crises and way of managing stress. 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 all the topics in the examination syllabus
- improve on their selves and read wide.
- study new book and research by using internet

Students should   

- study with relevant textbooks.
- strive to have in depth knowledge of the subject.
- work on their command English language.
