all eight Expressive Forms for the period under review; and revealed that of these candidates in 2012,
most of the candidates who sat Leather Craft as an option in the examination achieved Grade B (See
Figure 3). The Assistant Registrar/EDPD also reported that the performance on CSEC® Visual Arts during
the period 2012–2016 may be considered satisfactory overall, with the percentage of candidates earning
Grades I – III averaged 69 over the five-year period. This was despite variations in performance on the
various components that make up the subject. He noted that performance on the Paper 01, the School-
Based Assessment (SBA), can be considered good while performance on the Paper 02 which is the
Production Paper was generally below average.
