Leather Goods Manufacturing And Repairs Paper 2 WASSCE (SC), 2017

CANDIDATES’ WEAKNESSES

(i)         Poor expression

                        Quite a good number of candidates showed great deficiency in expressing their     points in clear and simple language. This weakness resulted in poor   performance in questions where candidates needed to drive home their points.

            (ii)        The use of wrong terminologies

                        Some of the candidates failed to use the correct leatherworks terminologies in                               providing answers to the questions they attempted.  This made it difficult for                                 them to put forward their points which obviously resulted in poor                                                            scores.

            (iii)       Failure to expatiate points

A reasonable number of candidates only identified points but did not go further to explain these points to earn maximum marks.

SUGGESTED REMEDIES TO WEAKNESSES

  1. Candidate should acquaint themselves with basic leatherworks terms.  These terms are necessary in their expression when answering questions in Leather Goods Manufacturing and Repairs.
