Hello, @fionnparks!
In most schools across America, the answer is yes because keyboarding skills have their own set of common core standards. As they lay out, keyboarding is deemed an essential skill. Many states have converted from paper- to computer-based tests, meaning students must have a solid foundation of keyboard learning in order for test scores not to skew. As the world continues to rely more heavily on technology, the ability to type has become a necessary skill for any and all entering the 21st-century workforce.
