Store Management WASSCE (SC), 2017

CANDIDATES’ WEAKNESSES

Some of the weaknesses observed in the candidates’ scripts were:

-           Insufficient knowledge of the subject matter as the candidates could not satisfactorily attempt questions on store management and importance of store management.
-           Poorly use of English Language as most candidates could not explain their points in clear and correct English Grammar.
-           Almost all the candidates did not attempt question five (5) which was on stock valuation.  Those who attempted it performed poorly in the questions.

 

SUGGESTED REMEDIES

  1. The candidates should learn the use of English grammar to enable them express their points clearly and correctly.
  2. Government should endeavour to recruit and train qualified teachers with qualification in Business Education as this is a new subject.
  3. Teachers should thoroughly teach the candidates the aspect of Stock Valuation
  4. Candidates should study standard text books as recommended by the West African Examination Council (WAEC) in preparing for the examination rather than answering questions with residual knowledge.
