In search of the required information, the researcher administered questionnaires to 100 respondents that made up the population for this study.

A number of factors were identified to be responsible for mass failure of students in shorthand. They include, Inadequate preparation on the part of students before examinations, lack of interest in shorthand on the parts of students, poor background of students in English language among others.
Based on the findings, the study recommended among other that the government should provide the institutions with necessary equipment, introduce motivational incentives to lecturers and students, encourage authors to publish adequate textbooks on shorthand and make sure that all the necessary shorthand textbooks are available in all the libraries in the country.
Also, students should develop interest in shorthand and devote much time in practicing it.
