Suffice it to say to say that Shorthand is no longer needed in our curriculum now. Even though I had thought about it, I cannot justify its inclusion in Junior Secondary School curriculum. This is a subject that was discovered by Isaac Pitman, when the world did not have a prescience of this present day advanced technology.

Just like Malthusian theory that once posited that the world would run out of food, Isaac Pitman did not have the prescience of this present day technology. His view was that the only way to cover event faster by journalist was to use those signs. Now suffice it to say that the latest technology generation is the world's knell of that subject called Shorthand.

Also I stand to be corrected. Those of us that perused a career in Business Studies can attest to the fact that we are not still able to write in Shorthand. We all made a brief foray into the world of Shorthand.

It is on these reasons that I am callling on fellow Nigerians to help get this post syndicated until it gets the attention. There is no gain leaving a subject that cannot be justified in our curriculum. Little wonder a researcher once said that Nigerian education has expired.
