Candidates' Weakness

Candidates’ weak performance was exhibited in their answers to questions on application of literary skills such as style and criticism.

The candidates indicated their inability to critically analyze and comment on issues from the texts according to the demands of the questions. They also portrayed shallow knowledge of the prescribed texts.

 Suggested Remedies

  1. Students should be encouraged to develop a good reading culture.
  2. Government and other stakeholders in education should train and re-train teachers of Literature by organising workshops and seminars.
  3. Teachers of Literature should endeavour to make the subject more appealing to students by introducing new teaching techniques such as live performance of drama and poetry.  Video film of some performed texts in prose fiction could also aid in the teaching of the subject.
