In the US morse hasn't been a requirement in the last decade or so (and I think basic classes without it even longer), and many other countries have dropped it as well.

I got my "no-code Technician" class license in 1998, not long after they did away with the code requirement for Technician. At that time, Novice, General, Advanced, and Extra classes all still existed and all required Morse code. Later the FCC dropped Novice and Advanced and later still removed Morse code from all tests.
Still, I wish I had started with Novice so I'd have learned Morse early on.
