Latin to be taught in state schools

A £4m Latin Excellence Programme will see the language offered to 40 schools. Staff will be trained and given resources to teach 11 to 16-year-olds. Gavin Williamson said: 'We know Latin has a reputation as an elitist subject'.

How many state school teachers can teach Latin?

Sweet fucking Jesus - the absurdity of Gavin Williamson

To what benefit. Leave it for the elite and and their weird rituals. We have dialects and slang.

I suspected that Brexit was going to send us back a few ages, but I assumed we'd still be speaking English.

Teaching a dead language. Why?

That’s good news. Learning Latin is the basis of a lot of subjects so it’s about time.
