Was wondering if schools still have shorthand in their curriculum..
Also do people still use it for administrative purposes considering the fact that one could use a phone to record a conversation and then later on use it.
For those who learnt it in school, can you read shorthand notes?

Wao Wao Wao !!!
Had totally forgotten about this!
Our business studies teacher that year (Mrs Nana Kiri) lol. Good old memories even though I remember nothing here..

Yes o... I did. I think the text we used was Pitman Shorthand, under Business Studies.

The only thing I can remember now are; P B T D... Ray up, Ray down.

I hated Shorthand ehn...

Learnt this for taking dictation after we learnt how to use a typewriter 😂

They still do this.
Gosh!

The most pointless waste of three years after Nigerian languages.

You answered your own question.

Observing one's attitude is necessary when trying to educate them. I saw it as a waste of time, hence threw away the skill immediately the lessons stopped being frequent.

One of the subject that was not contributory to the future. Same class as type writing.

The only good thing about this subject was that the teacher was very beautiful. I never looked at the blackboard. My eyes were fixed on her without listening to anything she was saying.

Indomine generation wouldn't know what this means. They taught us in business studies. Shorthand, used by sectaries to write speeches in meetings then use a typewriter to type it out.
