Fisheries Paper 2, WASSCE (SC), 2019

Weakness and Remedies

 

The following weaknesses were noticed in the candidates’ responses.
Candidates

  • used some technical terms wrongly;
  • wrote spellings of technical words wrongly;
  • did not understand the demands of the questions;
  • could not list the methods involved in capture fisheries;
  • could not distinguish between fish food and fish feed.

The following remedies were however suggested:

  • Candidates should be exposed to capture fisheries.
  • Field trips should be organized for candidates to enhance their experiences.
  • Qualified teachers should be recruited to teach the subject.
  • Good textbooks should be recommended to the candidates since the subject is relatively new.
  • Candidates should be familiar with technical terms in fisheries and be able to write their spellings correctly.
  • Schools should provide instructional materials to teach the subject to facilitate effective teaching and pleasant learning.
